"After graduating in 2012, my partner Iván Carmona and I founded Sunshine Animation in order to be able to keep working on making projects together. Since then, we have focused on making 2D traditional animation trailers and video game cutscenes, and we are very lucky to have an amazing team to helps us. Since we are a small studio of only 8 people, I get to work on multiple stages in each project we make. I would say my main role is that of an art director, but I also work on the storyboards and animatics, even making time for animation and clean up too."

One of the projects I’m most proud of is a trailer we made in 2021 for Blasphemous, an awesome spanish video game. It was very challenging because it was during the Covid pandemic so we had to work from home for the first time. The art style was darker and more realistic than what we usually make, but they trusted us completely and we ended up making one of our favourite pieces of animation.
