With over seven years of experience in character animation, both hand-drawn and rigged, I am eager to contribute to your show! My most recent project has been at Princess Bento- a hand-drawn series where I worked on both roughs and clean-up animation. I’ve gained a thorough understanding of technical processes, particularly in Toon Boom Harmony. I’ve also become much more confident with ShotGrid and the way studios use it for feedback, uploads, and staying on top of production. Before that, I worked at Pixel Zoo on Rainbocorns, where rigs of various complexity were used. I combined both rigged and hand-drawn techniques to ensure fluid animation and adorable yet moving performances from the characters. Prior to that, I spent six years as Lead Animator at Mano Animation Studios on the hand-drawn feature film The Glassworker, managing a team of 15 animators. I was responsible for scheduling all 1500+ shots and assigning them across the team. The Glassworker is now my country’s first official submission for the 2025 Oscars. I am proficient in Toonboom, Clipstudio and TV paint. Along with Photoshop, Premier Pro and Aftereffects. I am passionate about animation and excited for the opportunity to bring my skills to another project. Thank you for considering my application. I can be reached at _Email not available.
