Toon Boom - May 2023
I used an audio clip from Frank Oz's Little Shop of Horrors (1986) to create a short clip representing the relationship between a man and his cat.

Procreate - February 2024
As part of a collaborative effort to re-design the main characters from the fairytale Little Red Riding Hood, I was responsible for the grandmother's character. Our team went in the direction of a biker gang, and naturally, Granny is the leader of her clan.
Co-Animator - Maya, Toon Boom, Premiere Pro - December 2023
Responsible for: water animation and camera moves
I worked on this in a partnership, where we represented the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal of Clean Water and Sanitation. This was made as part of a collaboration, where sixteen clips each represented a goal and they flowed into the next. The group before us tackled gender equality, so that's where our starting point is, and we eventually end on our water goal symbol.
Sole Animator - After Effects - December 2022
This isn't a traditional self-portrait in the sense that the subject matter is myself, however, it is composed of different aspects of my life that I find important: my cat, art of course, and my botanical hobby.

Senior Thesis - Zaa
Completed: May 2025
This is the short sequence I animated for a collaborative short film I was a part of creating for my senior thesis. I created the assets using Procreate and Photoshop, and then animated them in After Effects. This clip was then inserted into our main project file, where we later added sound.
