Hi, I'm Jonathan, a passionate 3D animator and motion graphic artist based in Cebu City. With over two decades of experience in the creative industry, I specialize in character animation, game-ready animation, and visual effects. I've had the opportunity to work with various studios where I honed my skills in software like Maya, Blender, and Unreal Engine. I love bringing stories to life through animation and graphics, and I'm always eager to learn new techniques and tools to stay ahead in this fast-evolving field. When I'm not animating, I enjoy sharing my knowledge through teaching and mentoring aspiring animators.
