About
I am an experienced Senior/Lead Animator based in Vienna with over 15 years of professional experience in animated features, VFX productions, and popular series such as House Of The Dragon 1+2, Shazam 2, and Mounbound. I have led animation teams of up to 12 animators on four movies/series and supervised teams of up to five animators on three advertising projects and one movie. I played a key role in securing approvals for pitches of two web/TV series and contributed to the remarkable success of promotional videos on YouTube, garnering 350 million views. Additionally, I have four years of professional experience in multimedia art and advertising.
Since 2019, I am located in Vienna and working remotely.
