About

I’m a character-focused 2D animator with around 10 years of industry experience, grounded in classic hand-drawn animation principles and brought to life through Spine 2D and modern game-dev workflows. My work centers on expressive character acting, weighty, believable motion, and complex rigging that helps emotions read clearly on screen.

I bridge traditional art and interactive technology—so scenes feel fluid and alive, whether I’m refining animations, building UI effects, or optimizing assets for performance. I’ve contributed to mobile and web projects and also led key animation work on multiple international animated features and series, mastering both frame-by-frame craft and character physics.
