I’m a location-independent freelance director, animator and motion graphics designer.

I focus on motion graphics, FUI and screen design for films and video games, as well as animation, art direction, 3D, illustration and video composition.

My career spans nearly 20 years, half of it as a freelancer, in charge of all sorts of projects for international clients of all sizes. During this time, I’ve been lucky to collaborate with great studios all over the world, in many different projects with a variety of styles, from feature films like Kingsman, Spectre or Star Wars to video games like Call of Duty, NBA2K, or Need For Speed.

I work with After Effects, Cinema 4D, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and Final Cut.
