Biography

Raised in a multicultural environnement in Japan, I have always been inspired by art and stories from many horizons. My interest in various artistic fields (theatre, music, dance...) greatly influence my art in thinking a story in words, visuals, but also sensorial and body feelings aspects. With an experience in a small paint on glass stop motion short film production, I'm willing to continue learning from artists in these types of author-like mix media short films.
This is why I nurture for now a generalist profile in order to be able to help out as much steps as possible of a small team production.

I'm looking forward to meeting like minded folks who want to make people feel seen, by making stories that try to go beyond words 🌻

Work Experience

2024 – 2024

Generalist 2D digital & analog artist intern

Le Lokal (Toulouse, Occitanie, France)

Internship in traditional 2D digital animation & multiplan camera. I arrived in pre-prod development on Roshanak Roshan's latest short film project, with Polina Borisova as art director. 
I had the opportunity to create test graphics, concepts direclty on the multiplan, backgrounds, and character designs based on Polina's direction. From this I have produced storyboard excerpts for test animation on the titleboard and digitally, then composited them on After Effects. 
I used Dragonframe, Toonboom Harmony, TVPaint, After Effects and Photoshop.

Education

2021 – 2025

Masters degree in digital directing

ArtFX

2D Animation

Artfx brought my a solid, and empiric comprehension, of each step of the 2D animation productions pipeline. 
Thanks to this, my generalist profile gives me the skills to be able to create a film almost from A to Z : script, storyboard, visual development, color, character, environment design, 2D animation, layout posing, clean, compositing and even sound design. I still need help for music though...

Artfx was also a very nourishing experience in team work, were I got to improve my communication skills, adaptation to others, and consequent anticipation to ensure rigourous organisation. But also, to let go of things in order to keep moving forward towards the goal of finishing a great film ! :)

2018 – 2021

Applied arts high school diploma

Lycée des Arènes

Applied Arts

Learning applied arts in high school set great art culture basics, and a mindful creative design process. Gathering references, iterating, refining and setting a final choice to respond to a creative demand were my daily questions !

I had lots of fun playing with textures and mixing medias, and it still stuck to me until this day, in my animation related productions, depending on periods.
