    Showreel

    This is a compilation from my animated films created in recent years, both as part of a team of animators and independently. In these projects, I am not only an animator, but also an animation artist — meaning the characters and backgrounds were created by me as well.

    Loving Lev by Efrat Lewy.

    “Loving Lev” is a story for children, written by Efrat Lewy, and published by Agam Books in 2024.

    The book is made using a complex technique — heat printing and colored pencils. Working on the book took several years. My role involved developing all the characters, creating the illustrations, and designing the book layout for print.

    The book recently received the ‘Selected for the Ministry of Education’s Book Parade’ distinction, and a new print run will be published with a gold badge marking this achievement.
