About Me

I am a visual storyteller and 2D animator creating emotionally driven works rooted in atmosphere, character, and human connection. I am particularly drawn to animation for its ability to build worlds beyond the limits of reality, allowing stories to explore emotions, experiences, and perspectives that extend beyond everyday life.

Through my work, I explore themes of memory, heritage, identity, and the fleeting moments that shape our lives. I am also passionate about creating projects that encourage empathy, raise awareness of social issues, and inspire meaningful connections within communities.

I approach each project holistically, developing characters, environments, and visual languages to create narratives. Alongside animation, I work across storyboarding, visual development, illustration, and design, collaborating with composers, performers, and fellow creatives to bring stories to life.
