I'm Sean Chua, a writer for animation with a strong background in scriptwriting, creative direction, and project management. Extensive experience working with creative teams, writers, and artists, to see that the script is correctly integrated up to the final product. Hands-on experience with the full animation pipeline in both 2D and 3D animation allowing me to anticipate technical constraints early in the writing process and finding workarounds. I'm passionate about interactive storytelling and worldbuilding, and am an avid gamer who creates RPG stories weekly or bi-weekly for various gaming groups. I also work as a life coach, helping clients navigate and gain clarity in their own personal stories. That experience has significantly strengthened my writing ability in understanding psychology and crafting meaningful narratives that feel real.
