HELLO!

I am an animation director and illustrator. I grew up in Hong Kong and Japan and am currently based in Berlin. After finishing my master's degree in animation at Central Saint Martins, I worked with Nishikaigan in Tokyo for a few years. Now I am open to freelancing :) Please don’t hesitate to get in touch and say hi!
