1. Translation: English to Korean, Korean to English, French to Korean, French to English I grew up speaking English and Korean. As a French major at Yale, I had the opportunity to study at Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris, where I also spent two summers working at Galerie Maeght and Atelier Isabelle Menu. Since joining Upwork, I have translated a wide range of texts, including emails, letters, pitch decks, websites, and legal documents. I have also interpreted for webinars, corporate meetings, and court hearings. Good translations are not just accurate, but relevant. Language is dynamic. News words are made, some die, and some shift. The pattern mirrors the shifts in how we understand the world. I aim to deliver high-quality work, grounded in cultural insight and seven years of industry experience. 2. Editing As an editor, I support projects at every stage—from shaping ideas to proofreading the final draft. I specialize in essays, statements, cover letters, and presentations. Writing is not easy. Sharing stories with strangers makes us feel vulnerable. We're never sure if we've used the right word or the right tone. I offer clear suggestions while highlighting each writer’s unique voice, ensuring a compelling read. About Me: I graduated from Yale in 2016 with a BA in French and Art History. While at Yale, I received the 2015 Scott Prize for the best French essay. (The paper looked at camera movement and spatial language in the 2013 film Blue Is the Warmest Color.) I also helped found the Yale Photography Society, co-organizing the annual student exhibit, and taught Korean as a peer tutor at the Center for Language Study. My early career began with short-term projects abroad: I translated curatorial texts at Galerie Maeght in Paris and edited a book by the residents of MeetFactory, a contemporary art center in Prague. After moving to LA, I interned at Matthew Marks and the American Cinematheque. At the latter, I had the unique opportunity to live interpret French intertitles for L’Horloge magique (1928), Starevich's surreal puppet animation. Thanks to Gwen Deglise, then head programmer of the Cinematheque, who recommended me to Outfest, I screened short and feature submissions at the nonprofit for four years. Most recently, in 2022, I worked as a language consultant for an episode of the AppleTV show Little America. I translated parts of the original script into Korean and assisted the dialect coach, script supervisor, and 1st AD on set.

Having developed my first website in 1994 in GeoCities, I fell in love with the front-end of the web at a very early (for the web) age. I've continued working on software development (interspersed with network/domain administration and leadership) for the last 25 years. I've learned a good amount over that time, both in what to do and (probably more importantly) what NOT to do. I'm looking to make freelance development into my full-time job as I would like to be my own boss and create the kind of culture that best reflects my passions. I am a bit of a unicorn as a software developer as I am far more interested in providing the best overall solution, not only in terms of coding, but more importantly in communicating and finding the right answers for everybody, not just what is fastest, cheapest or easiest. I've been recognized throughout my career for my "soft skills" in addition to my years of experience developing for the web, and communication is absolutely a vital part of what I do on every task.

Hey there 👋 I’m M. Ghufran, a Traditional 2D Character Animator specializing in Frame by Frame Animation, Hand-Drawn Animation, Cel Animation, and Custom Puppet Character Animation. I focus on bringing characters to life through expressive movement, strong acting, and handcrafted animation. Over the past few years, I’ve worked on animated films, TV animated series, music videos, YouTube Shorts, TikToks/Reels, and explainer animations, creating everything from full productions to short, high-impact character-driven scenes. At the core of my work is Traditional Animation and Frame-by-Frame Character Animation. I design and animate characters manually, avoiding templates or generic motion. Whether it’s character animation for an animated series, cartoon animation for YouTube, explainer animation, or cinematic 2D animation for films, every project is built around storytelling, timing, emotion, and personality. My expertise includes 2D Character Animation, Custom Cartoon Animation, Cel Animation, Hand-Drawn Animation, Character Rigging, and Keyframe Animation. I work across multiple visual styles, including classic traditional animation, stylized cartoon animation, retro 2D motion, UPA-inspired design, geometric vector animation, anime-influenced animation, and expressive line-based character art. I also create game art, concept art, background design, children’s book illustrations, comics, posters, portraits, and fan art when projects require both animation and illustration. For production, I use Toon Boom Harmony and Moho for advanced character rigging and 2D animation, TVPaint and Procreate for pure frame-by-frame and cel animation, and After Effects, Adobe Animate, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Clip Studio Paint for compositing, design, and motion workflows. I also integrate Blender for 2D/3D hybrid animation when needed. Regardless of tools, my focus always returns to Traditional Character Animation and Frame-by-Frame performance. I’ve delivered work for indie films, animated series, commercials, educational YouTube content, NFT and meme-coin branding, children’s books, comics, and social media campaigns. My visual range includes cel-shaded animation, anime and manga styles, retro animation, abstract motion design, stylized graphics, and surreal illustration. Clients hire me when they want more than motion they want Traditional Animation, Frame-by-Frame Character Animation, Cel Animation, Custom Character Rigging, and expressive 2D Character Animation that feels alive. I handle storyboards, character design, background art, animation, and final polish, ensuring every frame serves the story.
