Her work is predominantly based on digital art, with knowledge of stop-motion animation and 3D modelling. Paris is committed to exploring different languages of animation through various approaches. She concentrates on communicating the scene's information and conveying emotions effectively. Paris' passion for animation and emotional communication stems from the different kinds of animation she encountered growing up.

Paris aims to keep this feeling and bring the same emotion to the audience as an animation creator.”
