What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can grow and contribute creatively.

I am a recent graduate in Animation and Visual Effects with a minor in Communication Design from Victoria University of Wellington. My academic journey has been marked by a strong GPA of 8.26/9.0 and recognition on the Dean’s List for both 2022 and 2023. I have a deep passion for creating captivating 3D visuals, particularly using Blender, and I excel at transforming complex ideas into engaging content.

During my final year capstone project, I created a short animated film titled 'Teatime Tangle,' where I designed and modeled the main character, animated the entire film, and managed all aspects of character movement and scene transitions. My experience as a tutor at the School of Design Innovation has further honed my skills in facilitating discussions and providing personalized feedback to enhance students' technical skills and creativity. I am eager to join a team of holistic world-builders to contribute my skills and grow as a designer.
