I'm a creative and detail-oriented animator with over five years of experience creating 2D and 3D animations for virtual garment design, games, and multimedia projects. As Lead Animator on a 3D short film, I strengthened my leadership skills by guiding teams through complex animation pipelines from concept to delivery. Proficient in Toon Boom Harmony, Adobe Creative Suite, Blender, and Maya, I adapt to different tools quickly and enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to outline project requirements and contribute ideas toward the pipeline.
