Hi there! My name is Sofia, I am portuguese, I am 29 years old and I have been studying and working on animation for 11 years.

​

I've loved animation since I was a kid and it brings me a lot of joy to give life to characters. I believe animation is the most powerful and creative tool for touching people's hearts. And isn't that the purpose of life, to feel the most you can? 

​

You probably came here because of my 3D animation skills, but I am more than that. I am passionate, curious, ambitious. Throughout my life I have tried to take steps towards where I want to be so I have never stopped learning and investing on myself.

​

I left my country to go study in France when I was 20 years old. I studied at ESMA (École Supérieure de Métiers Artistiques) Toulouse where I got a master's degree in VFX and 3D Animation. I got the chance to co-direct the short film "Mécanique" which was nominated for multiple festivals across the world. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/JVyLSsq48Ik

​

The day after I graduated I started working at Dwarf Animation Studios in Montpellier, for the TV Series "Apollon le Grillon et les Drôles de Petites Bêtes".

​

Later, I quit Dwarf and I joined TAT Studios, in Toulouse, where I worked for more than one and half year, on the TV Series "Les As de la Jungle".

​

Then, I decided to take a break to study, travel the world and to be closer to my family. I went on a 2 months backpacking trip in South East Asia, by myself. Meanwhile covid-19 got in the way so I returned home and started working as a freelancer. 

 

I worked at Ghost VFX for a year, where I had the chance to work on really amazing projects that you'll soon be able to watch on different platforms. I wanted to enlarge my spectrum of styles and get a hand on VFX/ realistic animations and it was a blast!

​

I worked for some months remotely for RISE FX, on an Amazon TV series, VFX style.

​

I worked remotely for Blue Zoo, on an amazing kids show with the cutest and weirdest creatures.

​

I am waiting for the industry to pick back up its rythm so I am free to work 
 

Voilá, this sums up who I've been so far. If you want to get in touch, feel free to reach out to me! :)
