Biography

My love for art started at the tender age of 2 and continued to grow ever since.

From the age of 6, I partaked in numerous art competitions and it continued throughout my primary and high school years. I also took art classes for more than 10 years.

From 2012 till 2014, in high school, I took Visual Arts as an 8th subject, along with Computer Studies, Engineer Graphics Design and Business Studies.

In 2017, while I was still studying, I worked at Luma Animation Studios as an Intern for 7 months.  

In 2018, at The Open Window Institute in Centurion, I got my Bachelors Degree in Film Arts, with specialisation in 3D Animation and Screenwriting, with a focus skill in Cinematography. 

From December 2018 till August 2022, I worked at The Boiler Room Production as a 3D Animation Generalist.
