Olá! Hello! ✸

I'm Beatriz, a Brazilian-Portuguese multi-disciplined 2D Animator and Designer based in London.
I create expressive character animation and bold, design-led visuals for series, music videos, and commercial content.
With over three years of experience at Studio AKA on BAFTA and EMMY award winning pre-school series 'Hey Duggee', I’m confident working across the full animation pipeline — from storyboarding and asset design to clean-up and final animation.
My freelance work spans everything from music videos to games, always combining strong visual instincts with solid technical skills in Adobe Animate, TV Paint, and more.
✸ Available from September '25 for 2D animation and design roles ✸
freelance or full-time, remote or in-house!
Let's work together!
