I know a wide range of animation programs and tools, which allows me to work in many techniques, such as traditional, cutout, rigged, and more. I'm currently based in Tel Aviv, freelancing with studios and clients worldwide. My experience spans Moscow, Penza, and Tel Aviv, where I helped shape characters, backgrounds, and story ideas, managed animation pipelines, and collaborated with writers and producers to balance action with budget and schedule.
