Design & Creative Lead | Producer
Hello.
Raised in Cali, Colombia, I developed a fascination for storytelling after watching The Lion King and Toy Story. Inspired, I decided to learn 3D and design. For my birthday, I asked my mother for a gift, a book titled 3DS Max for Beginners. Over the next two decades, I polished my skills across various industries, including animation, app development / startups, advertising, and automotive design, all with the goal of bringing high-quality content to life.
director
In 2022, I directed my first animated short film for Venturit Studios. The goal was to showcase the studio’s potential and since its release in 2023 it has received nearly 700,000 organic views. I led a diverse team of talented artists, including illustrators, 3D artists, animators, video editors, musicians, and more. You can read more about the process in the link.
Producer
I have always been attracted to the business side of design, and what better way to immerse myself in it
than combining production with creation? From scripting and storyboarding to budgeting, finding talent
(sometimes even myself), time management, and delivery, I’ve been producing a wide range of content.
Take a look at how I drove a series of employer branding interviews for Rightware.
design lead
In 2016, a dream came true, my name appeared in movie credits. Not only that, but I also had the opportunity to lead over 10 amazing artists as a compositor and prop modeling supervisor. We delivered more than 120 shots on time. One of the many times I had to be the captain of the ship, ensuring that my crew arrived safely and on time… Arghhh! 🏴☠️
3d artist
I like to get my hands dirty, whether it’s 3D, video editing, video shooting, motion graphics, or
photography. In today’s world, you need to be versatile and I can use my diverse skills to bring any
project to life. Some projects may be faster to complete with video recordings, while others may be easier
to tackle in 3D. I like to keep my Swiss Army knife of abilities always ready. Check out this personal
project where I modeled a Jeep from scratch.

Goodbye.
