What I'm looking for

I am seeking a collaborative environment where I can further develop my storytelling skills and contribute to innovative animation projects.

I am an award-winning storyboard artist and director with a keen sensibility for storytelling and dynamic composition. My short film, Ma Mao, won Best Student International Character-Based Short Film at the Los Angeles Animation Festival and Best Screenplay at Xine Xem Fest. I am highly proficient in Storyboard Pro, Photoshop, and Toon Boom Harmony, and I excel in scheduling, problem-solving, and collaboration.

As the director of Ma Mao, I led a team of nine artists from concept to completion, ensuring that we met strict timelines while creating a poignant film that has garnered over 30,000 views across various platforms. My artistic sensibility, professionalism, and adaptability make me a strong candidate for any studio looking for a dedicated and talented storyboard artist.
