I am an illustrator and 2D animator whose practice weaves together drawing and movement to create visual narratives. Inspired by landscapes, I begin with sketches that I gradually personalize, transforming them into images that reflect my own style. Working with both hand-drawn and digital techniques, I develop animations and illustrations that balance playful imagery with poetic undertones.
