Summary
I have experience working in a team as a manager on the creation of a short 2D animated video, collaborating with students from different disciplines, including 3D and sound design. I have worked on my own university projects, gaining experience in pre-production and storytelling. Additionally, through freelancing, I have learned how to communicate effectively with clients while creating illustrations and 2D animations based on a brief.
I am interested in working with your studio as a storyteller, creating narratives through characters in media and game formats.
