About
I’m a 2D Illustrator and aspiring animator who enjoys turning research and story ideas into clear, engaging visuals. My work spans character design, environment art, illustration, and animation—always with strong emphasis on storytelling, design principles, and problem-solving that fits professional team workflows.
I’ve created key visual assets such as character sheets, background art, storyboards, and animatics for university-level creative projects and independent studio work. From ideation through final presentation, I enjoy building stylized characters and immersive environments, collaborating in structured mentorship programs, and delivering high-quality visuals with careful attention to detail.
