I’m a junior 3D animator based in Vancouver, BC, focused on bringing characters to life with strong body mechanics, clear timing, and polished shot work. Through coursework and 1-on-1 mentorship with a senior feature film animator, I’ve built a workflow that emphasizes reference-driven animation, blocking to spline polish, and thoughtful shot clarity. Before stepping deeper into animation, I worked for years in luxury retail, which strengthened my reliability, communication, and teamwork in fast-paced environments. I’m fluent in English and Mandarin, and I bring that same professionalism and consistency to every animation task—from posing and weight to lip sync and final refinements.
