An animator who thrives on technical challenges and wants to make an emotional impact through movement. I am a bachelor student Illustrated and Animated Storytelling at Sint Joost School of Art & Design Den Bosch. I am specialising in animation. I like a challenge, I am very willing to spend 13 hours behind my computer for 5 seconds of animation, and that I do for myself. But if those 5 seconds can have a impact on someone I know I made something worthwhile.

Cell Buddies (2025) was made for the (3rd year Bachelor) minor programme Stop Motion Animation at Sint Joost School of Art & Design. Cell Buddies has been officially selected at over 120 film festivals all over the world.
