Go Go Nanek!

When Naneq’s mother unexpectedly hibernates before the Light Festival, she takes on the daunting task of finishing a massive order alone. Lost in work, she forgets the joy of the season—until her friends help her just in time.

This heartfelt story merges 2D and 3D, pushing me to explore how to seamlessly adapt 3D into my artistic pipeline while preserving the project's warm, hand-crafted feel.

Quest

This three-season show was created for a private school program focused on teaching teenagers leadership and teamwork. As my first experience in art direction, it gave me the creative freedom to explore a bold, striking sci-fi style while contributing to an engaging and educational series.

Summer Key

Benjamin’s summer holiday turns into a journey of discovery when he uncovers a hidden settlement on the edge of a fantasy world. Inspired by the holidays in my hometown, this short film was an opportunity for me to explore texture and tactility to bring the cosy world to life.
