About
Fresh, eager 2D animator & character designer (2024 graduate) ready to bring energy and polish to your project.
Specialties:
Clean, expressive 2D animation (frame-by-frame + rigged)
Character design & visual development
Professional storyboarding
Software: Toon Boom Harmony (Advanced), Storyboard Pro, Clip Studio Paint, Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, and Blender (basic 3D/layout).
I’ve completed rigorous college productions on tight deadlines, collaborated with directors and teams, and I’m hungry to deliver high-quality work while continuing to grow. My style is versatile — from cute and cartoony to dynamic action and emotive storytelling.
Whether you need punchy animated social content, series boards, full scenes, or original characters that pop, I’m fast, communicative, and 100% committed to making your vision shine.
Available for remote freelance and studio junior roles. Let’s create something awesome!
