I'm a junior character animator with a passion for the craft, always eager to deepen my knowledge of 3D. While focused on animation, I also have general 3D skills and am able to close skill gaps to learn even more. I strive to create expressive animation that brings characters to life, and I'm always excited to bring the best I have to every project.
