I'm a Buenos Aires-based illustrator, character designer, and motion graphics artist who believes the best stories don't just sit on a page — they move. My work blends a hand-drawn, organic aesthetic with digital animation skills, which means I can take a character from idea all the way to a fully animated social media campaign, brand story, or children's book. For agencies and independent clients, that's one creative vision across every format — no handoffs, no lost-in-translation moments. I've worked with clients in New York and Europe, and I bring that same level of craft and commitment to every collaboration, big or small.
