HELLO THERE!
I’m a multidisciplinary artist and designer with a focus on 2D Art,
2D Animation, Storytelling, and some experience in 3D.
About My Work Process
My creative process starts with an idea or story, which I develop through sketches and visual experimentations.
I enjoy exploring different directions before shaping a distinct visual language for each project, focusing on character, detail, and personality.
Primarily working in 2D for my illustrations and animations,
and occasionally incorporating 3D.
I’m drawn to humor and freedom in storytelling, bringing personality to the characters and worlds I create.
