I am a passionate freelance illustrator and animator with experience creating concept art and illustrations for indie films, short animations, and children’s projects. I specialize in character and environment design, 2D animation, and storyboarding, bringing stories to life with expressive and engaging visuals.
Currently pursuing a Master’s in Cinema & Animation, I have worked as an Art Director and Lead Animator on a documentary project, contributed to stop-motion short films, and produced illustrated children’s books both personally and for clients. I use a variety of tools including Photoshop, Blender, Krita, Illustrator, After Effects, and Procreate to deliver professional and imaginative artwork.
A young boy walking home from school, daydreams about his favorite meal, turning ordinary food into playful, larger-than-life sequences. I directed the animatics, created the storyboard, and animated key sequences, delivering polished storyboard panels and animatics that showcase my 2D animation, storytelling, and direction skills. filmdirector #animator #2Danimation #animatic
