I'm Margarida, a Portuguese 2D/3D animator who has a mild obsession for creating absurd scenes. I have been developing my skills in 2D and 3D animation, which allow me to bring characters to life through movement and storytelling. I try to present seamless and captivating experiences for the viewer through a keen eye for detail and strong understanding of timing and animation principles. This is my fifth year working in the industry, with an award-winning short film and multiple participations in animated web series. I have been perfecting not only my animation skills but also storytelling, rigging, modeling, sculpting, and texturing. I am constantly pushing myself to improve and expand my skillset, and I always strive to exceed expectations.
