The anime swipe
I took an anime swipe trend the internet already loved and rebuilt it around a car, so the format did the heavy lifting and BMW rode the wave.

The short version
I started at 14 animating Minecraft YouTube intros. Eleven years of daily reps later a viral automotive transformation cracked it open, and the same craft now drives content for the biggest brands on the planet. I invent the format, build the CGI and 3D, direct it and ship it. More than 11,000 creators follow my work to see how the next trend gets made.
