I Love Animation!

I’ve known this since I was a child, but I wanted to understand the world first. So, for my undergraduate studies, I chose to major in Ecology, aiming to become a scientist—haha, but I soon realized that research wasn’t for me. Instead, I wanted to learn more about society. That led me to work for two years as a brand manager at an NGO dedicated to ocean conservation.

I love listening to stories, and I love telling them. In 2022, I felt it was time to explore my own stories through animation.

So, I quit my job and started teaching myself comics and animation. You can find my projects on this website—they might be a little rough, but I hope you enjoy them!

Since Fall 2024, I’ve been pursuing my MFA in Animation at the University of Southern California (yes, I’m in Los Angeles now!). As for the future, I’m particularly interested in character animation and layout—but I’m still learning! I’m keeping an open mind about my career path.

Best wishes, and thanks for reading!
