03 Profile
About
I am a Brazilian 3D animator with more than 11 years of experience in CG and over five years focused professionally on animation. I recently completed a four-year remote contract with Waterproof Studios, contributing character and cinematic animation to major AAA game productions.
My work combines motion-capture editing, cleanup and polish with keyframe animation, body mechanics, facial animation and dialogue-driven performances. I enjoy finding the performance inside each shot and creating animation that supports the character, the story and the director's intention.
Working remotely with international teams has strengthened my communication, organization and ability to adapt to different pipelines and production needs.
