Proactive video editor and writer with experience working on animations, comic books and documentaries

Biography

I'm currently working as Junior Animatic/Animation Editor at Snafu Pictures for the upcoming Netflix series "Bad Dinosaurs" and as comics scriptwriter for the Finnish studio VISIBLE REALMS. My career combines a life-long passion for writing with 5+ years of experience working as video editor and assistant editor, with a focus on animation and real-time technologies such as Unreal Engine. In the past two years, I've also been developing original IPs, including "Chakra Warriors" (pitched at CARTOON SPRINGBOARD, Valencia 2021). Something else about me: I'm passionate about food, martial arts, and headcanoning every LGBTQIA+ ship I find in the media.
