I am a 2008 graduate of the Animation Department of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, Israel. After finishing school I took a year off and traveled many parts of the world (Thailand, New Zealand..)
As a dual citizen of the United States and Israel, I felt that the U.S. had more opportunities for me to develop my craft, so I have relocated to the U.S. to begin my career as a professional animator. At the moment while I am working on improving my animation reel I am working at a print shop in Oakland as a Print Production Graphic Designer.
I was particularly interested in CGI because it combined my interest in computer art and technology with my interest in cinema. In my studies. I have been using Maya for over 5 years to create animations and I love animating in a three-dimensional world, since I have always loved puppet animation for its unique expressive potential.
