About Me.

I’m an Animator and Illustrator currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animation at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. I have experience collaborating with diverse clients and contributing to a wide range of animation and visual storytelling projects.

My creative strengths lie in FX animation, compositing, and crafting moody, atmospheric scenes and dynamic, action-driven sequences. I’m passionate about bringing narratives to life through expressive visuals, compelling compositions, and thoughtful design. Whether it’s pre-production planning or post-production polish, I thrive on the storytelling process from concept to final frame.

Let’s bring bold ideas to life—frame by frame.
