I’m a character animator who loves bringing stories to life, one frame at a time. Growing up in the Philippines, I was beautifully sandwiched between Disney and Japanese animation. And so at age 13, I made the decision to pursue computer animation.
Since moving to Canada, I’ve worked on projects like Disney’s Monsters at Work, WondLa, and The Addams Family. Alongside studio work, I’ve spent the past six years teaching at Vancouver Film School—something that’s become one of the most meaningful parts of my career.
Mentoring animators, whether in school or in the studio, is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I love helping artists break down complex ideas, train their problem solving skills, and truly understand the principles of animation.

Animation continues to guide my creative compass, and when I'm not animating or teaching, you’ll find me exploring with my camera, gathering inspiration in the quiet moments.
