— How long have you been working in this field?

Since 2022.

— What’s your job in the studio?

2D animator.

— What do you like about your job?

I always like the beginning of the job, when characters and layouts come in and I have to come up with the movement and rhythm of the animation. I love complex and distinctive characters, especially when they need to be dynamically animated. My favorite thing is when I get action scenes with a running camera.

— What do you hate about the job?

When deadlines are looming and there’s no time to finish to an awesome result. Also when you have to draw a lot of scenes long and painstakingly :0

— What is your dream (if you have one)?

To learn how to make cool sakuga; to try myself in different roles in production; to participate in a mega famous project.

— What’s your top-3 animation movie recommendation?

Princess Mononoke (1997), How to Train Your Dragon (2010), Mob Psycho 100.
