I've been drawing since I can remember and have been making a living from it since 2008, when I started professionally working on animation and cartoon projects. So, in short: I'm a freelance animator with over 12 years of experience.

I specialize in 2D animation, the old school of traditional cartoons. Characters, people, animals... I've also done dozens of Motion Graphics animations ranging from Titles, Chyrons, and moving text to abstract shape designs, or visual effects; presentations, corporate videos, etc.

I've worked for dozens of clients, especially in advertising: a good recent example is the series of animated commercials for Naturgy (formerly Gas Natural), which I did in collaboration with Bungalow.tv, or the latest BonÁrea campaign. The cartoons for the latest Colacao campaign, Tosta Rica cookies, etc.

Besides animation, I'm skilled in drawing and digital art, which has also led me to work as a cleanup artist, refining 2D animations or static illustrations to achieve the desired finish.

I've also handled video projects from scratch: music videos for bands or commercials where I've had to direct a small team of animators and illustrators.

So, I've touched almost all phases of audiovisual production, from pre- to post-production. I thoroughly enjoy my work and am eager to meet new clients and animated projects.
