I am an international student from Romania, following the MA Animation course, and a self-taught illustrator since 2020. The passion I have for bringing characters to life has been the driving force leading me here, whether they are animated or illustrated. In 2025, my final BA year project 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸 portraits a little girl navigating a dangerous sea to achieve her goal of finding her mentor. This film captures my experiences and feelings and is a personal letter to work towards my goals. At the end of the year 2025, together with my university classmates, I worked on an animated short film called 𝘙𝘰𝘣 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘣𝘦𝘭. This was a collaboration with the University of Nottingham, and our project was screened with an orchestra soundtrack. Going forward, I strive to share my creations online and hopefully build my own community where I can inspire kindness and creativity.
