InnerUs
InnerUs is the concept of a short film and self monitoring mental health app. It revolves around a visual representation distinguishing between the part of a person that aligns with social norms and the part driven by their own instincts and gut feelings. The focus of this examination lies in analyzing the human soul, exploring the intricacies of its reactions and delving into the diverse and profound origins of its motivations and intentions. The objective is to scrutinize the interplay among personal emotions, familial dynamics, and societal influences: pinpointing the threshold where free will initiates and determining the extent to which our actions truly belong to us.
What are the inherited belief systems from our upbringing that support and impede our growth and progress?
InnerUs mood tracker app
The InnerUs mobile app draws inspiration from the visual principles of the shortfilm concept, utilizing cognitive behavioural therapy techniques. In collaboration with a therapist, we’ve created an MVP for testing. (2013)

On Water
On Water is a short film about the downfall of a relationship which is built on mistrust, jealousy, fear and the constant self defense that stems from these emotions. The two protagonists are so lost in the labyrinth of their feelings that they can’t even hear each other’s words. The love that they had for each other is consumed by their fears only to give space for misunderstandings.

The Secret LIVES of THE PINI
The Secret Lives of the Pini (Strobili Pinus) is a personal passion project I’ve been developing between commissions, and it continues to bring me tremendous joy. The series consists of very short, gag-driven animated films that focus on humor, warmth, and small emotional moments.
At the center of the project is a vibrant forest colony of pine cones - deeply connected to one another and to Mother Nature. They have their own traditions, quirks, fears, and a playful sense of mischief. Though they often tease and challenge each other with wild jokes, when danger approaches they are fiercely loyal, united, and protective.

Happy Little Planet
Happy Little Planet was a preschool-focused educational app ecosystem designed to introduce young children to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals in a playful and age-appropriate way. Our mission was to help cultivate a generation that grows up environmentally conscious, empathetic, and kind—toward the planet and toward one another.
Within the project, I worked as the Creative Lead for Animation & Content, overseeing animation direction, illustration, story development, game content design and social media content.
We developed five major games, each inspired by specific sustainability goals, as well as four mini-games designed to help children become familiar with our characters and their world. To complement the gameplay experience, we also released six illustrated audiobooks that provided parents with accessible, conversation-starting insights—helping them guide their children in understanding the themes and messages presented in the games, that launched successfully on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
