Are you struggling with a character rig or animation that doesn't work correctly in Moho? Dealing with stiff character movement, limited facial expressions, or animations that don't feel natural and engaging? Whether you need a production-ready character rig, a fully animated scene, or help fixing and optimizing an existing setup, I can help. Services include: • Character Creator to Moho conversion • Full 2D and 360° character rigging • Smart Bones and facial rigging • Lip-sync and expression systems • Character animation and acting performance • Walk cycles, dialogue scenes, and explainer animations • Rig optimization and repair My goal is simple: create characters that are easy to animate and animations that feel smooth, expressive, and professional. Let's discuss your project.

Most creators today are facing the same challenge: how to produce high-quality animation that keeps viewers hooked without waiting months for delivery. If you are looking for a video partner who understands the balance between artistic soul and AI-driven efficiency, you’re in the right place. I don’t just "move drawings." I build visual experiences designed to solve business problems. With over 9 years of experience in 2D animation, I have evolved my workflow to integrate the latest AI-enhanced tools, allowing me to deliver cinema-quality character rigging and fluid storytelling in a fraction of the time traditional methods require. -AI-Assisted Rigging & Lip-Sync -AI-generated backgrounds for animations -Upscaling

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.
