Approach

Creative instinct, grounded in technique.

From the first silhouette to the final acting choice, I build animation that feels clear, expressive and alive—work made to connect before it asks to impress.

Studio experience · Colombia / Mexico

Piragna Animación

Bringing stories to life with Piragna Animación.

As a remote animator based in Mexico, I collaborated with Piragna’s multidisciplinary team on meaningful animated content, learning from a production culture built around collaboration and detail.

That experience sharpened how I approach character performance: combining reliable technique with the small, human decisions that give a scene personality.

Selected production
