I bring characters and stories to life through expressive 2D animation - from vibrant game heroes to dynamic commercials. With experience across international studios, I quickly adapt to different styles (from anime to Wolfwalker), meet tight deadlines, and refine scenes to perfection. Skilled in TVPaint, Toon Boom, Spine, After Effects, and Photoshop, I create animations that are both technically polished and emotionally engaging. Always eager for new challenges, I aim to craft visuals that truly captivate audiences.
