I graduated as a visual artist, I started as an Editor, I am a big cinephile and I have always liked everything that happens in post, this led me to color grading, where I was able to sharpen both my eyes and my technical knowledge. Then I discovered compositing and have been using all this previous experience at the service of this profesion.
