I build calm, reliable animation pipelines where creative teams can do their best work—on time, on budget, and without chaos. I’m an Operations Manager with deep experience across 3D, film, and motion graphics production, specialising in end-to-end pipeline management for distributed teams. I’ve led projects from early concept through final delivery, designing workflows, feedback loops, and documentation that artists actually want to use. My background spans production operations, systems design, and financial oversight, allowing me to balance creative ambition with healthy margins and realistic timelines. I’m particularly strong at translating between creative, technical, and business stakeholders—keeping teams aligned across time zones, smoothing handovers, and catching problems early before they become expensive. I thrive on process optimisation, building scalable systems, and turning messy, fast-moving productions into elegant, repeatable workflows. Currently based in Malta (GMT+1), I am fully willing to relocate to Singapore for the right relocation package and am comfortable operating within Southeast Asian time zones and cross-cultural teams. I’m motivated by purpose-driven work and genuinely excited by animation that makes complex ideas feel human, meaningful, and alive.
