What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior role where I can own storyboards and illustration for 2D animation or children’s/educational content—collaborating with creative teams to deliver clear, engaging visuals that support strong storytelling.

I’ve built experience across animation studios, branding, and children’s content, creating engaging visual narratives from concept to final illustration. I’m skilled in character design and concept illustration, with a strong focus on storytelling, creativity, and visual clarity.

In my role as a Senior Illustrator at Village Talkies, I created storyboards for 2D animation projects and explainer videos, developing visual concepts and illustrations for multiple client needs. Previously, as a Children’s Content Illustrator at Mastree, I designed illustrations for children’s books, educational videos, and learning materials—especially for gamified math—while also working as an Assistant Art Director / Illustrator and Graphic Designer across 100+ client deliverables using tools like Photoshop and Illustrator.
