When did you start animating?
-
The earliest that I began to animate was when I was 14. I often hung out on scratch.mit.edu where I mostly made drawings in a sequence (like comics). In that same year, the first instance of me actually animating was opening and closing the eyes of a character. I was quite happy with the result.

What inspired you to become an animator?
-
It's hard to formulate what inspired me. Enjoying Western and Japanese animation as a child prompted me to make my own series even if I didn't know how to back then. I am also someone who creates characters and stories for a hobby. Naturally, I want to see them come alive. So animation was the way to go for me.​
