ABOUT ME
Hellooo! I am an illustrator / animator, interested in telling stories through colours and mood! With experience in 2D and stop motion animation, I enjoy the process of creating short films — from painting backgrounds to animating. I am constantly motivated to improve on my storytelling; and am always on the lookout for new animation and illustration styles. Eventually I hope to do visual development for animation projects.
​
I've just recently graduated from Nanyang Technological University School of Art, Design and Media, with a BFA Degree in Media Art (Specialisation in Animation, Character Animation Stream) in 2021.
