About

I am a 2D Animator and director; a visual storyteller with a strong foundation in communication design and a passion for crafting emotionally engaging narratives. Currently completing my Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s in Animation across Belgium, Finland, and Portugal, I bring an international perspective to storytelling and collaboration. Whether leading teams or developing solo projects, I focus on creating work that is visually compelling, strategically structured, and rooted in narrative purpose. From animated short films to cross-cultural productions, my goal is to build stories with authentic emotions through thoughtful art direction and intentional design choices.
