A Little About Me…
Hi, I’m Noel, a Character Animator and 3D Artist with a love for bringing life to pixels, polygons, and the occasional creature from another dimension. With over a decade in games, film, and tech, I’ve tackled a wild variety of workflows, pipelines, and animation styles, making me quick to adapt and always eager to learn. But I’m not here just to push keyframes - I’m here to push boundaries. I think outside the box (because animation should never feel boxed in) and thrive on finding new, cutting-edge ways to make characters move, act, and feel real. Whether working solo or in a team, I bring creativity, problem-solving, and a drive to make every frame count.
