Hello! My name is Stef.
I am an Animator and Illustrator currently based in Berlin, Germany.
As soon as I was able to hold a crayon my passion for drawing was born.
No piece of paper (or wall, for that matter) was left blank.

When I was 4 years old, we got our first TV and I started watching the only television show available for children at the time.
It was a Russian cartoon series called Nu, pogodi!
When I asked my mom about it, she tried to explain to me how animation worked and all I understood was:
"When you make a lot of drawings of the same thing, it comes to life!"
... of course I started immediately working on my own army of stick-figures.
Creating flip books, after flip books, but despite my efforts none of them actually came to life.
Anyway, I soon decided that I wanted to become an animator.

When I was 17, I started working as a Background Painter, on my first Animated Feature Film and soon later I was able to move to traditional 2D animation.
For fourteen years I worked in the Animation and Film industry, animating on several great titles like "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Maleficent", "Avengers, Age of Ultron" and many more.
After moving away from London I started illustrating children’s book and later on moved to Berlin, Germany where I am currently working as a Lead Game Artist.
