She is fascinated by the craftsmanship and puppetry of stop-motion animation, andit is her dream to combine her skills as an animator, sculptor, and illustrator, to workin puppet fabrication and character animation. Her wealth of knowledge accumulatedin her seven years of studies has allowed her to make most of her own assets.This includes title sequences, post-production and audio engineering to complimenther animation work.Her goal is to breathe life into each of her characters, one frame at a time, with theintention to generate powerful reactions and emotions from her audience – and, ofcourse, to leave them wanting more.
