Alii H.
2D Lead Animator | Character Animator | Storyboard | Toon Boom Expert
I help studios and brands ship broadcast-quality 2D character animation on tight production deadlines with credits including Cartoon Network, Netflix, and Vodafone. I'm Alii, a 2D Lead Animator with 6+ years of experience specializing in hand-drawn character animation, 2D FX, rigging, storyboarding, and animatics. I led animation work on Cartoon Network's Nana Zanana and contributed to Netflix's Abla Fahita: Drama Queen, plus campaigns for Kafashat, Kawakabani, UNESCO, and Vodafone Egypt delivered through top Egyptian production studios. My focus is acting, timing, and expressive performance animation that captures attention and supports the story, not just moves on screen. I've grown from junior animator to leading animation teams, so I'm comfortable both executing high-volume shots myself and reviewing/guiding other animators' work to hit a consistent quality bar. Tools: ToonBoom Harmony (expert), Adobe Animate, Spine, Adobe Photoshop, After Effects. I'm currently available for remote and freelance work, full-time hours or project-based. If you need a 2D animator who can take a character from rig to final polished performance, let's talk.
