About me
I am a digital artist with 4 years of experience in animation, motion graphics, design, advertising, and film. I have worked in advertising agencies and animation studios for clients such as Amazon, TimBurton, Cisco, Sam's club and Nestlé. My short films have been recognized and awarded internationally by numerous film festivals. The people I have worked with know me as a highly creative and reliable person. I like when my work speaks for itself and I love to put all my effort into any project I'm involved. Love paying special attention to detail and to create high-quality content.
Projects
  • Promotional video for Chinese contemporary art exhibition
    Promotional video for Chinese contemporary art exhibitionThis exhibition took place in San Idelfonso Museum in Mexico City. The promotional video was shown in broadcast television and youtube ads. First, the client sent me high-quality photographs for all the paintings, then I edited them in photoshop separating all elements into layers. After that, I animated all the details and connected the paintings through a single camera movement in After Effects.
  • Nestlé Advertising Campaign
    Nestlé Advertising CampaignAdvertising video part of the digital campaign to promote Nestlé's newest product: Nido Kinder Organic. Several videos were made for social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and youtube. My role in the project was to make the storyboard, character design, lipsync and character animation. It was a very fun project made at Playstudio.
  • Illustrated Poster
    Illustrated PosterI made this illustration for PlayStudio, with the aim of decorating the new office and integrating the logo with graphic resources, which I was free to propose. Originally it was going to be a mural painted on the wall but my boss decided it was better to make it digital. The design was done in Adobe Illustrator and two graphic proposals were created, one in color and another in black and white.
