    Pink’s relationship drama is as juicy as any reality show, rotating through four partners named for various shades of blue — Aqua, Electric, Navy and Sky — all based on real people in Moeel’s life. “It’s a conversation between me and myself about them,” she said.
    She’s also working on an animated series about the characters,

    10-second-long clips to Instagram before eventually pitching a sizzle reel to platforms like Netflix.

    HP Z800 – Integrated Live Action + 3D Character Animation
    Role: Lead Character Designer
    https://www.twine.net/signin

    In this HP Z800 promotional campaign, the agency concept centered on visualizing how the workstation accelerates creative pipelines. Artists’ sketches in an ad agency setting were brought to life as fully animated CG characters integrated into live-action plates.

    My role involved developing the full character lineup: visual exploration, silhouette studies, expression passes, color design, and final production-ready character sheets. The designs had to translate effectively from 2D concepts to 3D models while maintaining distinctive personality and readability on camera.

    The finished pieces showcase seamless compositing of stylized CG characters into real environments—office rooms, hallways, and meeting spaces—demonstrating the workstation’s capability to support complex 3D workflows from concept to final render.
