"don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something,
if you want something go get it".


Achivement

My goal is to make animation a lifelong career, and to be always inspired and imaginative. I set out to reach my goal of becoming an animator by attending iAnimate's 22 months character animation program. Throughout the program I'm gaining a great amount of knowledge about traditional principles of animation, body mechanics and performance and full body acting.
My training in fine arts, with a Bachelor in Industrial Design and subsequently my 6 months master in Computer Graphic, certified by Autodesk, has provided me with strong education in all aspects of the production pipeline.
I have extensively expandend my animation and artistic abilities as well as gained industry experience by working on various Tv commercial spots as: "Acer Overslept", "Toyota Stories of Better", "Nissan Juketown", "National Geographic 80's decade", "King.com", "Euronics", "Cirio", "Wacos", "Dainese".
I'm always looking for new ways to challenge myself and grow as animator, and as a 3d artist. I would love to join a team of talented professionals and do my best work. I want to go home, after work, proud of what I did.
