Available to hire
Hi, I’m Michelle, a 2D animator from Mexico specializing in cut-out and character animation. I bring a strong production-focused mindset shaped by my studies in Cinematography and animation at Universidad de Medios Audiovisuales (CAAV), and I enjoy building clean, expressive animation workflows from concept to final output.
My experience includes full-time and internship roles where I developed assets and animated characters using industry tools such as Toon Boom, Moho, and Rigging workflows, plus hands-on production training through my courses in animation production, character rigging, and color/coloso (style and character finishes). I’m friendly, reliable, and always aiming to improve quality—whether I’m rigging, animating, or supporting animation production in a team.
