I’m a Junior 3D Animator and recent graduate from ESMA (France). On my graduation film Mix-Up Mail, I worked as animator, while also taking on writing and directing responsibilities within a team of eight. This experience helped me build solid skills in character performance, timing and working through a full production pipeline. I’m proficient in Maya and comfortable with the full animation process from blocking to polish, working on both humanoid and creature animation.
