Hi, I’m Kristian Dominik G. Pelayo. I’m an animator and educator with extensive experience in 2D animation, character design, and visual arts. I’ve taught animation and visual arts at the University of Makati since 2017, guiding students through cutout animation, digital painting, and layout while collaborating on freelance projects across various platforms.
Beyond teaching, I work as a freelance 2D animator and illustrator and have contributed to multiple studios including Topdraw, Snipple, ToonBro, and Animahenasyon projects. I’m passionate about sharing industry insights, mentoring students, and continuing to grow in animation production and design.
