Hello! I’m a freelance storyboard artist, who combines the CG and 2D medium.
During my studies, I worked on a diverse range of projects for the 2D, CG and stop-motion production pipelines. These included several student short film animatics illustrating a broad range of animation genres from pre-school to film noir and thrillers.
As part of my workflow, I utilize Autodesk Maya to model 3D reference environments. I employ these CG environments to create immersive character-driven storyboards which provide innovative and thorough solutions to creative challenges. This approach allows me to adapt to new workflows efficiently and proactively implement feedback which ensures a high creative standard for all my work.
In my free time, I enjoy learning and playing a diverse range of pieces on the piano including contemporary film scores and the works of Debussy and Liszt.
