SALAAMS! I’m Irma.
I’m a transmedia consultant with a special focus in animation. I help turn video games, illustration, and comics into animated projects. I view animation as a tapestry, a medium that weaves together creativity and technology to tell compelling stories. This perspective enriches my skill set, allowing me to navigate the animation pipeline with expertise and insight.
From digital platforms to television, commercial services, and movie distribution, I’ve collaborated with some of the largest entertainment companies globally. This experience has provided me with a keen understanding of how these companies leverage technology to engage their audiences.
