About Me

I’m a 3D artist, animator, and producer interested in memory, tenderness, and the feeling of revisiting childhood as an adult. A lot of my work starts with small, sentimental objects—like well-loved dolls, abandoned toy animals, or tiny folded paper stars—and the quiet stories they carry.

I primarily work in 3D, but I’m always trying to bring in the warmth and tactility of handmade things. I’m drawn to processes that feel physical and imperfect, like puppetry and stop-motion, and I try to recreate that sense of touch in digital space. Outside of 3D, I also enjoy working with my hands through crochet and handpoke tattooing, which continues to shape how I think about texture, care, and making.

In 2023, I co-produced an animated short film that was selected for the ASIFA-East Animation Festival and the New York International Children’s Film Festival, and was named a Semi-Finalist at the New York Animation Film Awards (2024). I’m currently producing a new short while developing my thesis film.
