Born in Vancouver Canada, with connections to historical Vancouver Chinatown and familial roots from Serbia. My multicultural background has lent me a huge curiosity with many cultures from around the world, especially when it comes to fashion and food, and how that is portrayed in art.
My multicultural background eventually lead to me being fascinated with animation and illustration. Our cultures speak through our art, and I want to leave my mark in the same way.
Collaborative and versatile animator seeking a junior animation role. Great storytelling skills with attention to character motivations and its portrayal using body mechanics. Well versed in Autodesk Maya.
