About

I’m a 2D artist with over five years of experience in the field. I started freelancing by creating casual graphics for mobile games as a Junior 2D artist and eventually moved on to full-time roles in AAA projects. Over the past year, I transitioned from a beginner Middle 2D artist to a confident Middle+/Senior 2D artist. I specialize in Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, and Illustrator, creating simple 2D animations and vector graphics.

At the beginning of 2023, I began actively exploring and integrating AI networks like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney into my workflow, which has been an exciting addition to my creative process.
