Since July 2020, I'm the founder and director at Pickled Frames — an animation studio with a great focus on characters. My career in animation started when I was 20, with an internship in Studio Pigeon. I worked there over the next five years as an animator, rigger, lead, supervisor, show creator, and scriptwriter. I've worked on fantastic commercial and cartoon projects, some of which are streaming on Netflix and TV! I knew that I want to run my own studio, which is decided to start Pickled Frames.

Dave Alvarez has been a storyboard, layout and character artist for companies like Warner Bros, Nickelodeon, Disney and others.

My lead credits include Animation and Rigging supervisor for upcoming projects for FX and ABC kids. I have been using Harmony as my main tool of trade in studios across Australia and the EU since 2015 and teaching it at a university level since 2020.
