I graduated from Pratt Institute with a degree in Media Art in 2006. My first job after college was studio manager at independent animation house Blend Films, where I learned the tricky art of balancing both client work and personal projects. A few years later, my twin sister Joy Buran and I started our own animation studio where we’re currently balancing commercial videos, our latest animated short, and a children’s book about the 12 Days of Christmas. I live and work in the Catskill mountains with my husband, our two cats, two dogs, and a partridge in a pear tree.

My name is Eduardo (mostly known as Bruks) and I’m an animator, rigger and engineering deserter. I’ve been jumping between animating, supervising and directing for the last eight years while also venturing into rigging every once in a while, and I’m currently working as an animation supervisor in Cartoon Saloon. I started my career with educational films and since then I’ve worked with advertising content, feature films and animated series and I also enjoy creating Harmony rigs and sharing them with the world.

Began working in 2014. Started as a 2D animator/rigger, then moved to 3D feature animation.
