Short-form animation comes to life for me through a blend of hand-drawn expression, textured detail, and cinematic motion. Some projects begin in Procreate Dreams, where I sketch out movement and let early ideas breathe. Other times, I build the look in Photoshop, adding subtle lighting, texture, and emotional nuance frame by frame.
When a piece calls for clean lines or strong graphic structure, I turn to Illustrator to create the forms that anchor the motion. In After Effects, I bring everything together—merging assets, shaping transitions, expanding movement, and creating a cohesive visual flow. Premiere Pro becomes the final stage, where I refine timing, sound, and color to complete the piece.
Each project is different, so I use whatever combination of tools best serves the idea—sometimes all of them, sometimes only one. This flexible process allows me to create short-form animations that feel tactile, immersive, and alive.
