MY WORK
I started my career as an illustrator and graphic designer. I transformed into an animator, where I gained a passion for bringing stories to life that would inspire people. That led me to filmmaking, where I could integrate all of my passions. Below are some examples of work that I have created as a Director. My roles also include work as an Art Director, Animation Director, Visual Effects Supervisor/Producer, and Creative Director.
