Stop-motion short animation

Very short animation about time for a Animation course assigment.

Different textures and elements (collage) has being used such as:

cotton, google eyes, plasticine, real leaves, silk paper, glitter and coloured cardboard paper.

Also lighting has being applied during the process.

Live action stop-motion

Short live action stop-motion about Friendship.

This project (for a Cinematic Design course assignment) was my first attempt using a DSLR camera and the first one trying stop-motion techniques.

I tried to sustain the visual appealing through the narrative proposal, by addressing colour palette elements and symbology with the music choice and other elements in scene.

Opening Title sequence version: Midnight Mass (Netflix)

This project (for a Cinematic Design course assignment) was made using my own footage and lighting.

I wanted to create an ominous and suspenseful atmosphere to address the theme and aesthetics of the Netflix TV series (Midnight Mass).

Originally this TV series has no opening title sequence, so I found it was interesting to create one opening credits that could give to the public the series ambience and genre.

Digital compositing Showreel

On this project (for a Digital Compositing course assignment), I worked with Nuke and Adobe Premiere software programs, to create different types of atmosphere within the original footage, by using compositing techniques applied to the video editing.

Exhibition at the South Australia State Library

"Immigrant – One Word, Many Worlds" is a mixed media exhibition exploring the emotional landscape of migration through digital collage, painting, informational material ,image and sound experience and an interactive piece. Presented at the South Australia State Library, this body of work reflects on themes of displacement, belonging, memory, and identity from the perspective of an immigrant artist.

Each piece interweaves personal narrative with public discourse, combining layered visuals, symbolic textures, and fragments of news media to evoke the complexity of the immigrant experience.

The exhibition was developed as part of the subject Creative Ventures and the South Australia State Library (part of the South Australia History Festival, 2025) during my final year in the Bachelor of Creative Industries at UniSA, where I explored the intersections of personal narrative, cultural identity, and experimental media.

🎨 Mediums used: Digital collage, acrylic paint, yarn, photo, video (projection), sound, physical items.
🧵 Themes: cultural identity, fragmentation, resilience, decisions

Immigrant: one word, many worlds

Design for digital technologies project

Developing a poster (on Illustrator), a booklet (on InDesign) and a prototype (on Figma) for a fictional Festival

Braza Festival is a vibrant celebration of Brazilian culture in Adelaide, featuring music, art, dance, and traditional food. This poster was designed as part of a Design for Digital Technologies assignment, where I developed a visual identity that captures the energy, diversity, and warmth of the festival experience.

Bellavita Pizzeria - Social Media and Digital Presence

For approximately 1.5 years, I worked casually supporting Bellavita Pizzeria’s digital presence, focusing mainly on Instagram content creation and social media consistency.

I initiated and created the restaurant’s TripAdvisor account, helping establish their presence on the platform, and proposed the implementation of an in-store QR code to encourage customer reviews.

My role involved creating visual content, writing captions, and developing simple promotional posts to increase brand visibility, engagement, and connection with the local community.

Australian Film Diversity & Inclusion Foundation (AFDIF) — Digital Media Intern

I completed an internship with the Australian Film Diversity & Inclusion Foundation (AFDIF), where I contributed to the creation of digital and visual content supporting initiatives around diversity, inclusion, and emerging filmmakers.

My work involved designing social media assets, developing visual content for events and programs, and assisting with digital storytelling materials. I also supported the production of festival-related collateral and promotional graphics, working within established brand guidelines while bringing creative input to each project.
