I’m an AI Animation & Visual Storytelling Artist with a fine arts background, combining traditional artistic foundations with modern AI-driven animation. Before working with AI animation, I trained in fine arts, illustration, and storybook creation, developing a strong sense of composition, color, mood, and narrative. That background shapes everything I create today — from cinematic animated shorts and motion graphics to character-based storytelling and children’s content. I’ve worked on storybook illustration, visual narratives, and character design, which allows me to approach animation with an artist’s eye rather than a purely technical mindset. AI is a tool in my process, but art direction, storytelling, and visual consistency always come first. I enjoy projects that require imagination, emotional clarity, and thoughtful visuals — whether that’s a brand story, a short animated piece, or a creative concept in early development. Collaborative, detail-focused, and story-driven.

    paper AI Animation & Cinematic Video Showcase

    This project is a curated showcase of AI-powered animation and cinematic video work, blending modern AI tools with a fine arts and storytelling background.
    The work includes cinematic product ads, short-form promotional videos, and story-driven animation, all guided by strong creative direction, composition, and visual consistency. My approach is rooted in traditional art principles developed through storybook creation, illustration, and visual storytelling, with AI used as a creative accelerator—not a shortcut.
    This showcase reflects how I turn ideas into polished, production-ready visuals that feel intentional, emotional, and audience-focused.
