What I'm looking for

I seek a creative environment that values originality and collaboration.

I am a passionate and creative motion graphic designer and animator with a strong desire to bring originality to every project I undertake. My journey in digital media began with a diploma in Digital Media Studies from the University of Trinidad & Tobago, where I honed my skills in animation and visual effects. Over the years, I have developed a diverse skill set that includes 3D animation, video editing, and content creation, allowing me to contribute effectively to various projects.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with notable companies such as Unicom Group and Lonsdale Saatchi & Saatchi, where I created engaging TV and digital ads. My work on projects like “The Twist,” a student short film, and a 3D model for the WASA plant treatment facility showcases my ability to blend creativity with technical expertise. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy bringing ideas to life through innovative design.
