What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I think during work experience at companies like Milky Tea and Factory Trans media. I was so grateful to be given the opportunity to be a part of their projects such as advertising campaigns, character designs for series pitches and storyboard work. I learnt so much from these companies and working within the studio, therefore my finished pieces of work where something I was very proud of!

How did you become interested in animation?
I’ve always loved cartoons (and still do…..I’m a big kid!) I think it was from age 8 that I began my love for drawing. I would draw everything I could see!

I’m happy to have been a part of the Madagascar franchise, I’ve been given great opportunities on that show and currently got a chance to be character lead for King Julien! it’s a little surreal, seeing that it wasn’t that long ago I was sitting on my couch watching the first Madagascar movie, stuffing my face with Doritos and wishing I can work on something like that. So I have to pinch myself every now and then. At the moment I’m working on the second installment of Dragons and couldn’t be happier. The first one resonated with me so much, so I’m excited to be a part of the Dragons family now!
