ANIMATION / CHARACTER DESIGN / COMPOSITING
EXPERIENCE
2020-2024
Schwa Animation Studio
Co-founder/ Director/ Animator
Schwa is a collective of six generalist animators with interests that complement each others’. With this, we’ve worked with clients to put together pitches, animate pilot episodes, music videos, and short films, all while maintaining a consistent social media presence. I found myself gravitating towards decision-making roles such as directing, character design, and compositing.
June - July 2016
Moringa Ogilvy
Intern
Ogilvy is an advertising firm that creates digital advertsing and marketing campaigns where I learnt the basics of the Adobe suite, how to work with clients, adhere to the rules in their brand books, and even making my own brand identity.
