Hi there!
I am a Romanian character designer, visual development artist and (occasional) 2D animator currently living in Paris.
I completed the MCAAF program at Gobelins in June 2024, where I co-directed the short film "Catfish". I was involved in the writing and art direction of this project, character design, layout posing, 2D animation and background painting.
In 2022 I graduated from the Budapest Metropolitan University with a BA degree in Animation Design. There I directed my diploma film "Locked" in a team, which I wrote and also worked on the art direction, character design, some background art, animation and compositing.
Most of all, I enjoy developing worlds and characters and making an idea come to life visually in the art direction stage. Exploring a character's expressiveness through shapes, features and details is big focus in my work process. On a bigger scale, I also like using colours and lighting as a tool in bringing out the essence of a story.
When I'm not drawing you'll find me at the cinema or in a cosy café or just cooped up at home with a nice cup of tea... perhaps still drawing :)
