What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As a passionate Creative Animator with over 8 years of experience in the film and advertising industry, I thrive on bringing characters to life and telling compelling stories through animation. My expertise in the Adobe Creative Suite, combined with my proficiency in 3D animation using Blender, allows me to create visually stunning content that resonates with audiences. I have a proven track record of enhancing animation quality and streamlining production processes, ensuring that projects are completed with accuracy and artistic skill.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality animations under tight deadlines. My role as a mentor to junior animators has been particularly rewarding, as I enjoy guiding others in improving their technical skills and artistic vision. I take pride in developing unique character designs and contributing to the overall aesthetic of various animated projects, which has led to increased customer engagement and satisfaction in my previous roles.
