Illustrator & 2D Animator • Self-employed

I work as an independent illustrator and 2D animator, creating custom artwork and animated content for international clients. My projects include children’s books, educational videos, lyric animations, and character-based storytelling. I manage all stages of production — from concept sketches and character design to final animation and post-production. Through this freelance practice, I’ve developed strong communication, time-management, and creative direction skills while collaborating with authors, musicians, and educators worldwide.

Landscape Architect

Primavera Park • Self-employed

Nov 2015 - Present • 11 yrs

Worked on private gardens and urban landscape projects, from initial concept design to final implementation. Responsibilities included site planning, plant selection, 3D visualisation, and presentation drawings. I collaborated with homeowners and city departments to create sustainable and visually balanced outdoor environments. This experience strengthened my sense of composition, colour, and atmosphere — skills that now enrich my illustration and animation work.
