Character design
I design characters with a strong focus on personality, clarity, and animation readiness. Each design is developed to perform well on screen, with careful attention to shape language, proportions, and functionality. From initial concepts to production-ready turnarounds, I create characters that are both visually distinctive and built for movement.








Visual Development
I create clean, purposeful graphic design tailored for digital content and motion. My work includes layout, typography, and branded visuals designed to communicate clearly while integrating seamlessly into animation and video projects.
