What I'm looking for

I seek collaborative teams tackling character-driven animation and VFX across gaming, film, and advertising, where I can lead rigging, pipeline improvements, and deliver high-quality assets under production deadlines.

I have over a decade of extensive experience in animation, expertly navigating both 2D and 3D production environments. I contribute to high-quality animation projects at scale, fostering a collaborative atmosphere within multidisciplinary teams. As a Maya Specialist, I demonstrate comprehensive proficiency across the entire 3D pipeline, encompassing modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation, consistently transforming creative visions into visually stunning realities. My expertise extends to 2D animation, with over 7 years dedicated to character animation and digital storytelling using Moho software. I am proficient in Moho's advanced rigging systems, including Smart Bones and Vitruvian Bones, alongside vector animation and traditional frame-by-frame techniques. Driven by a commitment to efficiency, I focus on workflow optimization and pipeline improvements, developing innovative tools and processes that enhance team productivity while successfully addressing tight creative and technical requirements.
