About

I’m Moses Daniel, a 2D animator and character rigger based in Lagos, Nigeria, and I enjoy turning character ideas into lively, expressive performances. I specialize in cut-out animation, building functional rigs in Toon Boom Harmony, and bringing characters to life through solid body mechanics, facial animation, and accurate lip-sync.

I’ve worked with SMIDS Animation Studio on animation production and rigging, where I’ve helped create and refine animation assets, performed cleanup, and supported teams to meet creative requirements and deadlines. I’m also experienced in collaborative workflows from studio and internship settings, and I’m passionate about creating clear, engaging storytelling through timing, spacing, and performance quality.
