Biography
I’m a Vietnamese currently living in the Netherlands. The silver lining of the pandemic was the fact that more storyboarding courses became available online, which allowed me to finally pursue storyboard. I started in Jan 2021 with a mentorship with Rob Porter (Head of Story for Dream Works, Paramount,..) Before this, I was a video editor and a kindergarten teacher in a country without any original animation studio, dreaming that one day I could work on films that change lives (and the world!). And now I cannot be happier to be taking baby steps towards my dreams and I can’t wait to work on more projects!
