SUMMARY
My main interest is character animation and I am open to working as an assistant animator, clean-up animator, and rough animator. Ten years of professional experience made me specialize in diverse character animation - 2D cut-out, cel animation, and mixed media. I am a solid operator of Toon Boom Harmony and Adobe Photoshop. I am fluent in using Adobe After Effects and introduced to Blender. My freelance background made me efficient in animation direction, consulting scripts, and managing whole animation projects from scratch to compositing the final video.
