Twenty years ago, fresh out of school, I was deeply inspired by the storytelling and world-building of Pixar. Their emotional depth and creativity sparked a dream in me — to build my own independent animation studio in my hometown.

I started as a self-taught artist and gradually pursued professional training in different areas of animation. I studied character animation at Animation Mentor and explored advanced lighting techniques through the works of Jeremy Birn (Pixar). Over the years, I’ve trained a passionate in-house team and led a growing studio that has delivered a wide range of animation projects — including international commercials, promotional content, several TV series, and contributions to animated feature films.

Despite these achievements, I’ve always felt a strong desire to produce my own original animated feature film — not as a director or writer, but as a producer who brings vision, strategy, and a creative team together.

For the past year, I’ve been fully focused on developing this feature film. While securing funding remains a challenge, I’m currently producing a high-quality trailer to bring the project to life and take it to the next stage. With two decades of industry experience behind me, I’m committed to making this dream a reality.

I’m aware the animation industry is evolving rapidly, especially with the rise of AI. While it brings both opportunities and uncertainties, I remain hopeful and driven to tell meaningful, culturally grounded stories through animation.

If you're a producer, investor, distributor, or creative partner interested in heartfelt, original animated content — especially from regions rich with untold stories — I’d be delighted to connect and explore potential collaborations.
