Hi there! I'm James, and I love bringing ideas to life through animation and illustration. With a background in 2D animation, I've been fortunate enough to work on diverse projects that fuel my creativity. My passion lies in creating vibrant visuals and engaging stories that resonate with people. I firmly believe that art has the power to connect us and convey emotions that words alone cannot express. In addition to animation, I always seek to learn new skills and expand my toolkit.
