Cats make you want to stay in
Running time: 11 min 48 sec - Loop

Video-installation that explores what it means to live with a non-human being, coexist with it, and how this affects the way the space is inhabited. This piece makes the most of the unique characteristics of the drawing and animation languages in a way that gives life to the space through video projections.
"I love cats because I enjoy my home;
and little by little, they become its visible soul.”

- Jean Cocteau

Do you Remember, Mooneyes? 
​
​This is a story about the encounter of a house cat and a mysterious girl, a spirit of the night who wants to reach the sunrise despite being bound to existing only under the moonlight. It's also a story about not denying the nature of the creatures we find living around us, about acceptance, understanding, and failure.

Do you remember the Girl of the Night
with her clear eyes and bright smile?
How she jumped across the stars,
the dark fields and stormy skies?

Sometimes she still flies from windows to trees
But the Girl of the Night grew tired of it.
“Let me go, let me go!”  She cried at the moon,
“Let me go, let me be! let me smile at the sun!”

The Box

Collection of small, limited animations of a very small animated cat that inhabits our space, exploring specific objects in a room through projection mapping. 
​

 This is a work in progress and I plan to keep exploring and building on top of it.

Love Letter💌 - Poll Game Comic
​Love Letter is a fan comic based in the animated series Voltron Legendary Defender, created as a "democratically played visual novel" or "collective choose-your-own-adventure" game.

It follows Lance, a die-hard romantic single, on Valentine’s Day after he finds a Valentine’s card in his bag.  The multiple readers' choices determined how Lance ultimately felt about the love letter and what he did about it. 


I had a flowchart, social media with polls, an enthusiastic fandom base and a dream.​

POLLY POCKET:  MAGIC IN  SPARKLE COVE  - MUSIC VIDEO STORYBOARD
Polly Pocket Adventure Studios is a series developed for Relish Studios for Mattel where I worked as a storyboard and animatic artist from 2022 to 2024.  ​In this music vide Polly and friends  explore the magical adventures of Sparkle Cove!

For the Magic in Sparkle Cove Music Video we received a short brief and the song from the external client, in this case the director and I developed the story directly in the storyboarding process, and worked with a choreographer for the dancing portions on the song.
