The goal of my thesis project is to tell a complex story involving the struggles with mental health. I used 2D animation as a healthy coping mechanism for expressing my emotions. I like to write from personal experience so my stories will feel authentic to the viewer. For this piece I wanted a story with a sense of realism mixed with fantasy and the paranormal. My main goal was to create something that I would like to see in the world and that someone would be able to relate to when they watch my film. I hope the viewer will find comfort, solidarity, validation- know that you can always change your circumstances.

I am a storyboard artist, comic artist, illustrator and animator. I always wanted to be a storyteller regardless of what medium she used. My goal is to one day have my own studio where I can bring my stories to life.
