Hi,
I’m Aida — a 2D character animator and animatic director with 4+ years of experience in episodic TV animation. I’ve worked on internationally distributed series including «Kid-E-Cats», broadcast on Nick Jr. in 170+ countries worldwide. In 2024 I completed an internship at Soyuzmultfilm Studio. Among my directing work is an animatic for the series «My student spirit» (Season 2, 2025).
I specialise in cut-out character animation and visual storytelling — rhythm, framing, and emotion in motion. My background in graphic design (10+ years) gives me a strong visual foundation across the full pipeline.
I work in Toon Boom Harmony, Moho and Adobe After Effects.
I’ve collaborated with studios Metrafilms, Papaton, Parovoz, Voskreseniye and Lalabook, contributing to projects including «Kid-E-Cats», «Sonya from Toastville», «Asya and Vasya», «Sheep hotel», «Klub voprosiki», «Tailed Songs» and others. This experience gave me a solid understanding of episodic pipeline and production workflows.
In 2024 I completed an internship at Soyuzmultfilm Studio in 2D animation on the project «Orange Cow» — strengthening my technical skills and gaining insight into production at one of Russia’s most iconic animation studios.
Alongside animation, I’m developing my skills in animatic direction and storyboarding: I’ve studied both and worked on them in practice. I completed two courses at Yomko Academy, and my animatic for the series «My student spirit» (Season 2, 2025) was accepted into production and aired.
One of the most memorable moments early in my career was seeing my name in the credits for the first time :)
Animation brings together everything that matters to me: design, movement, rhythm and emotion. I keep growing in this field with genuine curiosity and a real love for bringing stories to life.
