Hi there! I'm Pablo Espinosa, illustrator and art director with over 14 years of experience creating exciting artwork, animation and visual design for all sorts of fancy brands across five continents.

- Tall Shorts Film FestivalA film festival like no other, Spark's Tall Shorts invites filmmakers of all walks to create an arresting short film shot vertically on a phone.

Together we crafted the story around the concept of a rigged, unwinnable game to upset the darkness of its content with a bright visual direction that's both charming and unsettling. This project became Huffington Post's most read story of 2017 de
- HuffPost Highline – America's Most Admired LawbreakerIn 2015, The Huffington Post embarked on a reinvention of online journalism via its long-form journal, Highline. Author and New York Times bestseller Steven Brill imagined “a new kind of experience for readers: one that combines the comprehensiveness of a book with the interactivity and immediacy of the web.” Not shy of a challenge, we jumped at the opportunity to take on the production of this innovative storytelling project and worked closely with the author and the Highline team to execute th
