I turn your ideas into bold, eye-catching animations.

About

At 18 I swapped Indonesia for the Dutch canals and never looked back. I may only ever see people's backs at standing concerts in Rotterdam (seriously, potatoes do make you grow taller), but I always aim high. That same leap-first energy is how I approach every project. I take a brief, run with it, and come back with something you didn't know you needed. No endless check-ins, no hand-holding. Just good work, on time, with a smile.

From big global agencies like VaynerMedia to in-house teams like Mollie, I know how to fit into any workflow and hit the ground running.

When I’m not animating:

Ceramics
To actually build something off screen.

Photography
To see the world from a different lens.
