I am a versatile illustrator and designer with a strong passion for both traditional and digital media. I thrive at every stage of the animation and illustration pipeline, from concept to final delivery, with a keen focus on team leadership, visual development, and post-production. I love learning new skills and often work with tools like Photoshop, Procreate, After Effects, Adobe Animate, Premiere Pro, Audition, Toon Boom Harmony, Midjourney, and the Google Suite to bring a shared vision to life. Drawing on experience across TV series, short films, feature film content, and commercials, I enjoy shaping organizational systems, mentoring teams, and creating assets that support storytelling and production workflows.
