About

I am a Director, it is what I love to do. I have more than ten years of experience in the Animation Industry. I started my career as an Animator. I have experience in 3D animation, 2D Animation, and Stop Motion Animation. Through hard work and dedication, I steadily progressed to roles like Lead Animator and Animation Director before achieving my ultimate goal of becoming a Director. I enjoy working closely with all departments in production to help tell the story. I am an excellent problem-solver and communicator.
