Biography
I have been an animator for the last 16 years.
During my career, I had the chance to work in AAA games, VFX, TV shows, commercials, and feature films, allowing me to adapt and be flexible on different budgets and styles of animation always delivering shots on time and with great quality.
I worked for clients such as Dinsey channel, Disney+, Nickelodeon, BBC, and many others.
My most recent position was as senior animator at REALTIME working with the cinematic team.
My latest materials can be shared upon request.
Please reach out if I can help in future productions.
Thanks for your time.
