About

I’m Beatriz Ballai, a 2D animator specializing in cut-out and frame-by-frame character animation, with deep expertise in Toon Boom Harmony. Since 2019, I’ve focused on expressive acting, strong posing, and polished timing—helping characters move clearly and perform convincingly across different styles and production needs. I also enjoy the full pipeline work, from rig adaptation and asset preparation to independent animation development and delivery through multiple review stages.

I’ve worked remotely with international studios and production teams, contributing to animated series and digital content released on platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, and YouTube. My recent experience includes building and adapting Toon Boom Harmony rigs, creating motion tests and walk cycles for pre-production, and animating complete short-form episodes or social media deliverables while maintaining consistent quality under fast turnarounds. I’m fluent in Portuguese and advanced in English, and I bring a collaborative, detail-oriented approach to every project.
