I am a 3D animator specializing in stylized animation. I am influenced by various studios that choose to create animations outside the norms. The unique stylized animation techniques inspired me to pursue creating a unique animation style that will break the limits of visual storytelling and make beautiful scenes. For my final project, I focused on producing animations for 2D characters to bring them to life, using various animation techniques to make the characters pop and come to life in various new ways. I am also learning 2D animation and character design, where I can continue creating unique ways to bring stories to life.

I am currently completing my final year in 3D while also working on 2D animation independently, with a strong passion for bringing characters to life and conveying the emotion behind every story or video game. During the final project, the animation side of the team and I animated our characters' actions for the game we are working on with the game students in my team. I’m looking to begin my career as a Junior 3D Animator, where I can continue developing my craft, or I will work on the long-term project I have been working on behind the scenes.
