I would describe myself as a person who loves meeting new people, and enjoying all things related to art and animation! When I first discovered 2D Puppet Animation/Cut-Out animation, it was love at first sight — or rather, love at first rig! Rigging and Directing are my favorite parts of the animation process. Whether it's crafting a movable character/object from a completely static image, or directing an animated production, both are extremely rewarding experiences in which I'm improving upon daily. It's for these reasons that I aspire to be a Director and/or Technical Rigging Supervisor post-university!

After working for studios in Mexico, Colombia, Canada and the UK for 15+ years, and the last 7 as a Lead Animator, I should confess I'm not really an animator, don't know anything about animation and don't really know what I've been doing all this time, but I've enjoyed the occasional free pizza and beer. Currently working as a Lead Harmony animator at Passion Pictures in London (until they find out, of course).

My journey in animation started as a stop motion artist, focusing mainly on artistic projects working with paper cut outs and puppets. After a slow transition to the digital medium and years of migrating between animation softwares as a hobbyist I've finally made the leap to Toon Boom. That marked the beginning of my professional career and I'm now working internationally as a freelancer, both as a rigger and character animator for TV serieses. I try, whenever possible, to keep producing personal projects, to keep some sanity going in a very demanding industry.
