I’m a 2nd year Animation student currently studying at UNATC in Romania and I am also an aspiring character designer with a strong passion for working in 2D animation, illustration and character design. I’m actively seeking opportunities to contribute as a character designer and bring expressive, story-driven characters to life. My approach blends creativity with production awareness. I design with animation in mind, ensuring characters are not only visually compelling but also functional for rigging, turnaround, and consistency across episodes. I focus on creating designs that are not only visually appealing but also built for animation: clear silhouettes, strong personality, and consistency across movement and storytelling. From early concept exploration to polished model sheets, I enjoy collaborating and adapting quickly, skills I’m continuously sharpening through both my studies and personal projects. Through my studies and personal projects, I’m continuously developing my skills in draftsmanship, character exploration, and production-ready model sheets. I am currently in development of my own animated short film for my diploma and have gone through the various stages of preproduction and production learning how to bring a series and its characters to life. I’ve also been involved in projects where I worked as a clean up artist for 2D animation and have developed the skills and speed that this role requires. Not only that, I understand what a good character design needs to look like for it to be appealing and easy to work with. As I grow, I’m eager to collaborate, learn from experienced teams, and contribute meaningfully to real productions. Being a student keeps me curious, adaptable, and up to date with evolving styles and tools, while my dedication pushes me to meet industry standards. I’m especially drawn to projects that explore bold unique visual styles, emotional storytelling and engaging characters that catch the viewer’s eye. I’m currently looking for opportunities to start my career as a character designer and would love to be part of a team creating compelling animated stories.
