I am a 3D animator with a passion for creative storytelling and a drive to make every animation appealing with all its nuances. I thrive in collaborative environments, bringing energy, dedication, and a sharp eye for detail to every project. I am skilled at taking projects from reference and blocking to final render, crafting animation that balances strong physicality with clear emotional intent, and making every pose tell a story through weight, timing, and subtle expression or posture.
