Hello! I’m an aspiring animator and freelance illustrator. My self-taught journey in art and animation has been deeply impactful. Nearly 10 years ago, I started creating illustrations in my down time using a free software, which helped me learn the basics that led me to learn how to create background illustrations, storyboards and character designs. As my skills improved overtime, I was fortunate enough to be offered an opportunity to be a part of multiple projects that involved animating characters from many of my favorite series, which allowed me to experience different styles and enhance techniques. My participation in these project resulted in enormous support from others and valuable feedback which increased my confidence going forward. Collaborating with other people in animation helped me master my skills, which exposed me to different ideas and helped me tap into my creative side.
