Imperfection can be found anywhere and is, in my opinion, a lot more interesting than perfection. The stories I tell revolve around imperfections in life and humanity. Those stories do not need to be melodramatic and gray. Color can be found in mistakes and beauty can be found in evil. My animations celebrate imperfections or show an unbiased side of the obviously bad things.

​

Identity and conflict are the topics I mostly tackle. I confront the viewer with dynamic illustrations and animations. Contrasting sides of dynamic and quiet can be found through my choice of either a cleanly or roughly animated result. Either way, I always try to keep the emotions and expressiveness central.

​

My prefered medium is 2D frame by frame animations. One of my strengths are animating people and their body language, but I am also fairly experienced with animating cats.

At the moment, I am improving the execution of my work. I am trying to find a balance of drama and bliss in the visuals of my work. I want to be able to capture the beauty that can be found in mistakes and the cruelty that can be found in luck
