I am a 3D Animation and Design professional with over eight years of international experience, specializing in 3D character animation, lighting, and prop and vehicle animation. My journey into the world of 3D began in 2016 with Cinema 4D, and since then I have developed strong expertise in Blender and Maya, delivering creative projects across studios and freelance collaborations. Over the years, I have worked with companies such as Trimagine Studios, Hoyoverse, and Gheras Group, taking on roles that ranged from Creative Director to contract animator, where I was responsible for end-to-end rigging and animation pipelines. Beyond my core focus in animation, I have cultivated an all-rounded creative skill set that extends into video editing and audio production. I am proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and After Effects, producing polished video content that complements my animation work. In addition, I have hands-on experience in audio engineering, including sound design, mixing, and post-production, which allows me to deliver complete audiovisual storytelling. My background also includes graphic design with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, further strengthening my ability to create cohesive and compelling visual assets. I thrive on problem-solving, teamwork, and pushing creative boundaries, with a constant drive to expand my artistic and technical skillsets. My goal is to continue evolving as a versatile creative professional, combining my expertise in animation with my broader media production skills to deliver impactful and innovative projects.
