What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and innovation, with opportunities for growth in animation and design.

I am a self-taught artist with nearly a decade of experience in digital art, specializing in animation and graphic design. My journey began with a passion for drawing, which has evolved into a career focused on creating captivating animations and storyboards. I thrive in environments where creativity meets technical skill, and I am dedicated to delivering high-quality work that resonates with audiences.

Currently, I work as a Motion Designer and Animator at HowHow, where I utilize advanced techniques to produce commercials and explainer videos. My freelance experience as a Storyboard Artist has allowed me to collaborate with various clients, honing my skills in creating compelling narratives through visual storytelling. I am particularly proud of my work on projects like the animated short film “Berries” and storyboards for McDonald's commercials, which showcase my ability to blend creativity with technical precision.
