About

I’m Ana-Iulia Păun, a visual artist and animator based in Bucharest, with a strong focus on 2D animation, and character rigging. Since 2025, I’ve been collaborating with an animation studio, where I work in Moho on character rigs and 2D animation, and I also support cleanup and video compositing while contributing to creative brainstorming and idea development.

Alongside my animation work, I’ve gained teaching experience as an art teacher (School Nr. 97) . My background includes education spanning fine arts, foreign languages (East-Asian Studies and Japanese/English), and psycho-pedagogical training—so I enjoy combining visual storytelling with thoughtful, audience-aware communication.
