3D Gameplay Animator
As a 3D gameplay animator inspired by the deep storytelling of RPGs, I strive to bring worlds to life in ways that make players feel they’ve truly stepped into another realm. My focus is on crafting animations that are more than visuals—they’re invitations for players to connect, share, and feel, fostering friendships and compassion within the game world. I believe in the power of storytelling to turn simple gameplay into shared memories and connections, creating experiences that go beyond the screen and into the hearts of players.
