I animated this shot last year, and viewing it today, I realized that none of the gestures had any impact. Everything had similar energy, so nothing landed or felt natural to the dialogue.

It needed CONTRAST!!! ✨

After removing unnecessary gestures and toning down movements, her big motion at the end finally landed the way I originally wanted it to! :)

⬇️ What’s an animation tip or principle that you wish you practiced sooner?

Having my animation on a stadium facade during March Madness was NOT on my 2026 bingo card!!! 🥹🤩🏀

From January to March, I had the privilege of working with an amazing team of animators on Project Free Throw! Seeing people play and engage with something we created reminded me of why I love art & live events. 🫶

Huge shoutout to Elise Battelle for being an awesome, supportive animation lead! Thank you to Aaron Pelaez for animating the 2D VFX on my shot as well! 🔥

First time animating quadruped body mechanics! 🐾 During November, I worked with my friends on a heist-themed sequence. Here’s my shot from our short!

"What could go wrong?" 😁⏺️🔼⏹️

Had fun with this facial expression exercise! I've been practicing with the rigs by Ramon Arango (). I love how much room for exaggeration that the facial controls have. Looking forward to playing with these more 🔥

Which Squid Game season was better?

Sketches from my first summer in LA! ☀️

I checked off a lot of the tourist attractions from my bucket list! During my first weekend, I went to The Grove, and that area with the Original Farmer's Market and art museums was probably my favorite spot 😄

I also went to:
🌈 Hollywood Boulevard (and LA Pride!)
😋 Grand Central Market
🖼️ Art museums: LACMA, Broad, MOCA, Getty
🦣 La Brea Tar Pits
🎥 Academy Museum of Motion Pictures
🔭 Griffith Observatory
🎶 Hollywood Bowl
⚾ Dodgers Stadium for a game against the SF Giants :)
🎢 City Walk & Universal Studios
🌆 Old Town Pasadena
🌇 Burbank
🛍️ Silver Lake
⛱️ Santa Monica

Let me know any places that I should check out next time! 👇

That's a wrap on my Paramount Animation Production internship! It's been such a great learning opportunity and I'm really going to miss being in the lot with such wonderful, knowledgeable people. I discovered so much about production and had a blast shadowing art reviews for TMNT 2, Smurfs, and SpongeBob 4! Can't wait to continue my animation journey ✨

Here are just a few sketches from the Paramount Pictures Studio lot :) I'll be posting more LA sketches from this summer!

🎥✨ I’m proud to present my first solo film, "Fledgling" — a 2D animated and live-action hybrid film!

🌈The story was heavily inspired by my experience of moving away for college. I wanted to share how new environments can be scary, but if you embrace it, you can discover the beauty and find community in them!

🎨In this hybrid film, familiar surroundings are animated and the scary, foreign environments are filmed live-action. As the film progresses, more elements in the world become drawn and the main character embraces the unexplored.

🙌 Special thanks to Anthony Roman and Dominic Hernandez for their assistance in filming the live-action drone shots. I'm also deeply grateful to Professor David Chai for helping me push the boundaries of my storytelling and animation skills in ANI 132 at San Jose State University

I wanted to share my latest custom Funko Pop of Jack Bauer from FOX TV's 24: The Series! A huge fan wanted to display their love for the show, so I painted the perfect figure of the main character (played by Kiefer Sutherland). I included his police badge and handgun, and I liked how the Jack Bauer figure was posed like he's ready for action!
