STORY ARTIST
ANIMATOR & CREATIVE PRODUCER
Hello, I’m |
I have accumulated over 25 years of industry experience as a Creative Producer in Animation, a Storyboarding Specialist, a Creative Consultant, and also as an Educator and Mentor.
I began my journey in the 2D era with an internship at Disney in California, where I worked on the production of 'Aladdin.' This experience paved the way for my work at Disney Feature Animation in Paris, where I contributed to renowned films such as 'Hercules' and 'Tarzan.' Seeking new opportunities, I made the decision to relocate to Asia, where I played a pivotal role in the field of education. It was during this time that I had the privilege of setting up the Lucasfilm Animation studio in Singapore as the Manager of Artistic Development, leading the production of the acclaimed 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' TV series.
During my extensive 10+ year stay in Asia, I had the opportunity to reside in Japan, where I honed my skills as a CG Animator, working on various Disney TV productions and local content. Seeking new horizons, I then moved to the UAE, where I took on a significant role as the head of the Cartoon Network Animation Academy. This initiative aimed to establish Cartoon Network Studios Arabia, fostering talent development and implementing a robust production pipeline. Through these efforts, we successfully brought to life the UAE's first mainstream CG TV series, 'Mansour'.
In recent years, I have actively immersed myself in the creative realm of Visual Story Development for TV series, games, and feature films. Through collaborations with esteemed organizations such as Cartoon Network, Compulsion Games, Squeeze, Netflix, and Cinesite, I have lent my expertise as a versatile freelancer. Additionally, I have taken on the role of a Creative Consultant and Producer for government TV channels and animation production houses, contributing to a diverse range of captivating projects.
I have played a pivotal role in the establishment of the animated feature story department at Platige Image, a renowned production house based in Poland. Furthermore, I had the privilege of leading the story department at Tiny Island Productions in Singapore, where I contributed my expertise to their inaugural feature project. These experiences have further enriched my understanding of the storytelling process and solidified my passion for bringing captivating narratives to life.
