## What I'm looking for

```text
Remote, entry-level job in a new field. It can be customer support, translation, data clerk, pretty much open to anything.
```

## About

```text
I’ve worked in animation for over 6 years. I’ve done character animation, motion design, storyboarding, and directed for TBC, Nabeghlavi, Tbilvino, Old Kakheti and other large brands in Georgia. I’ve also worked as an animator for multiple short films and I am currently head of animation department with 15 people for a full feature film.

However, right now it feels like very intense work and I would love to find a job that would allow me a better work-life balance so I can also do some personal projects on the side. It can be in my field, but I am more than open to learning a new skill.

I am a fast learner, I speak Georgian, Russian, and English fluently, and have B2 level degree in German but I haven’t practiced it for a while so my level now is closer to A2.

I’ve also worked as an English tutor, Animation tutor, cafe manager, and played basketball proffesinally in Georgia. I have a bachelors and masters degree of arts in Animation.

I don’t have problems learning new systems, I’ve been part of some type of a team most of my life and I know what it means to work for a single goal with a big group.

I’m open to every level of work, weather its entry-level or something with much more responisbility. I am available for meetings and call in any time zone.
