I’m a 2D Animator and Video Producer specializing in creating high-performing content for digital platforms. For the past 5+ years, I’ve worked with brands, studios, and content creators to produce engaging videos designed for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X focusing not just on animation quality, but on storytelling, retention, and audience growth. I handle the full production process, from concept development and storyboarding to final delivery. This allows me to create content that is both visually strong and strategically aligned with each platform. My experience includes working with global brands like Nike, Pepsi, and Edye, as well as collaborating with content creators and studios on advertising, short-form content, and series production. I have a strong foundation in 2D animation principles and work with industry-standard tools such as Toon Boom and Adobe Creative Suite. I’m also comfortable working with scripts, AI voiceovers, and fast-paced content pipelines. If you’re looking for someone who understands how to turn ideas into content that captures attention and keeps viewers watching, I can help.
