A Bit About Me
I am an Independent Visual Development artist specializing in Character Design and Concept Art for Animation.
Currently, I am working for Netflix, creating Visual Development for an unannounced animated feature.
In June 2020, my film “Cinema Rex”, a short I co-directed with Eliran Peled, won the CANAL+ Youth Award at Annecy festival 2020.
In 2014 I got my Animation B.F.A from Bezalel (Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem). Since then, I have been working in the animation industry in various roles, such as Animation Director, Art Director, Visual Developer, and Character Artist, Creating Visual Development for animated films and TV series.
I love every aspect of the Animation world, and am in love with my job!
Eternally hungry to learn more and to meet talented people around the world.
I am always happy to hear about new opportunities.
