About / CV
A creative who turns imagination into experiences.
Hi, I'm Hanlo!
I'm a 3D Animator and Digital Artist who loves creating things that bring imagination to life. From character animation and digital painting to 3D environments and props, I've always been drawn to the creative side of technology.
I'm constantly learning, experimenting, and looking for new ways to improve my craft. Lately, I've been exploring Unreal Engine and Unity, with a growing interest in game development and real-time experiences. I love seeing how art, animation, and technology come together to create something memorable.
Whether I'm working on a professional project, a personal piece, or simply testing out a new idea, I'm always looking for the next creative challenge.
Take a look around and check out some of the work I've been creating!
