    paper Production Reel

    With 9 years in the animation industry, my passion for animation goes back to my earliest memories. I’m skilled in project management and communication, having held various roles such as Line Producer for 2D series with clients like Titmouse/Amazon Prime and Lucasfilm, Project Manager at a Concept Art Studio, and Production Manager for a 3D-based NFT project.

    Starting my career as a 3D Generalist Artist and Production Coordinator, I successfully communicated with clients, assembled teams, managed schedules and budgets, and ensured tasks were completed on time. My technical skills in databases, Power BI, Excel, and Python scripting complement my animation and project management expertise, making me a valuable asset to any production team.

    I love collaborating with others, solving problems, and maintaining clear communication throughout projects. I’m now eager to take the next step in my career, contributing my passion for animation and project management skills to larger projects.

    Thank you for watching my reel. Have a wonderful day!
