I am a CG Artist specialized in Animation who also loves storytelling and all the creative process.
From 2000-2010 I worked in almost all the disciplines in the CG industry in projects like TV Animation Series, Video Games and Commercials.
In 2009 I worked in the Animation Feature Film "Chico & Rita" that got an Oscar nomination for best animation film in 2010 and in 2011 I moved to London with my family and I started a new adventure in the VFX Industry as Animator.
