What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging position that allows me to leverage my creativity and technical expertise in animation.

I am a freelance animator and motion designer with extensive experience in creating compelling visual effects and animations. My journey began in traditional cartoon animation, where I honed my skills over two decades, working with various studios. I have transitioned into digital animation and motion graphics, utilizing high-level software such as After Effects, Premiere, Illustrator, and Photoshop, along with 3D programs like Cinema4D and Maya.

In 2021, I co-founded ToonBot Studio, where we produce a variety of animated content, including explainer videos and corporate animations. My passion lies in breathing life into static elements and evoking emotions through movement. I am dedicated to delivering exceptional animated content that resonates with audiences.
