STORYBOARD:

urban research planning

layout planning

editorial planning

comic storyboard

spaces and camera angles

team briefing visualization

• teams | projects:
  Storyboards visualize ideas in the making, and I use them wherever the planning of a storytelling process is necessary, be it for myself or in a teamwork.

• storyboard use:
  Storyboards have served me as a team communication tool during my workshops, team briefings, in journalistic and research projects. As a personal planning tool, storyboards paved the way for all of my comic and manga projects.
