Growing up, I was constantly relocating to different countries because of my family. I grew up with many different cultures and art was the one medium that connected me with people. This ultimately led me to my career as a CG artist and animator.
 
I have been animating in film and TV for 10 years, working for studios such as Netflix, Sony Imageworks, HBO, Disney+, Warner Bros., to name a few. I was fortunate enough to work on some blockbuster movies and shows that you have probably seen and, hopefully, enjoyed. 
 
Now, as I enter the NFT space to release a commission collection on my own, I look forward to taking my professional skills of storytelling and animation to create a unique piece of art rooted in your own personal experience. I believe that our avatars are an expression of our digital selves and I look forward to helping you share that story.

Your PFP is an extension and representation of you. This collection is about creating the Origin story of you in your digital form. We will be building out the world that your NFT character is set in and the story you want them to embark on. Whether it is set in a grungy apartment in the past, or a dystopic New York alleyway in the future, we will bring the character and environment to life in an animated short. We want to tell a perfect story, but we also want each commission to stand out as an art piece on its own. Together, we can collaborate and create some beautiful custom animation that allows you and everyone else to understand what you are about in the web3 space.

Before a character can leap into action, they have to pass the ultimate test—rig stress testing! Here's a behind-the-scenes look at how we pushed Tippy, one of our feline stars, to the limit to make sure the rig could handle all the stretches, squashes, and https://t.co/cXB5Pxre5d

Translating a concept into 3D is never a one-to-one process, especially with a character as unconventional as this. This guitar character has no mouth, so we’re exploring a unique approach—using his arms to shape his words visually.
