MY CV

ABOUT ME

I’m a storyboard, animation, and pre-production artist with 8+ years of experience working across Indian and international animation projects.

I began my career at Toonz Animation as a character designer and pre-production artist, where I developed a strong foundation in storyboarding, animatics, and visual storytelling.

Later, at Plankton Collective, I worked as an Associate Director, leading projects and strengthening my skills in direction, pacing, and team coordination.

Most recently, I worked as a Senior Storyboard Artist and Team Lead at Zvoid India, creating cinematic, character-driven narratives while guiding teams through tight production schedules.

My strength lies in combining story-first thinking with animation knowledge, allowing me to contribute meaningfully from concept through final animation.
