I’m a passionate 2D animator and clean-up artist with a proven track record delivering polished sequences for short films and game projects. I specialize in the full animation pipeline—from rough animation through tie-down and clean-up—and I love bringing characters to life with clean line work and expressive motion. Beyond animation, I’ve collaborated with teams on feature films and TV projects, constantly learning new techniques and tools to push the quality of my work. I’m excited by creative challenges and always eager to grow as an artist.
