Collaborative 3D modeler,concept artist, and creativeprofessional with over 20 years of experience in the animated film industry.
Recognized for expertise in both digital and traditional technique, coupled with a strong ability to work collaboratively to bring creative
visions to life.
I started my career in Spain as a 2D/3D Artist as modeler and lead at Bren Entertainment (Filmax Animation). After moving to the United States of America in 2005, I have had the opportunity to collaborate on numerous animation projects in studios such as Disney, Blue Sky Studios, Illumination, DreamWorks, Studio Kimchi, Nikkigames HK.
In recent years I have expanded my interests towards Visual Development, collaborating as a designer and concept artist on several projects in both films and marketing. I have also expanded my knowledge of storytelling by taking Storyboard courses.
