I began my career as an animator, fascinated by movement and character performance. Over time, my curiosity for the technical side of animation led me to specialize in rigging. Today, as a Senior Rigger and Supervisor, I combine artistic sensitivity with technical precision, building efficient rigs and developing custom scripts to improve production workflows. I love bridging creativity and technology to help teams work smarter and bring stories to life more effectively.
