About Me
Hey there!
My name is Shir, and I'm currently working as an Animator at DreamWorks with work on "Puss in Boots", "Trolls", "Boss Baby" and more. Recently worked on "The Wild Robot" from early animation development stages. I also have some experience in the game industry, at both an indie game studio as well as Riot Games.
I'm a backpacker and explorer at heart, always looking to put smiles on people's faces :)

I'm always up to meeting new people and learning something new. Feel free to contact me!
