Hi, I’m Diogo Marrafa, a Motion Graphics & VFX Artist. I’ve been working with animated graphics since 2014. I strive to blend creativity with a logical, tech-oriented approach. My main focus areas are VFX, post-production, motion graphics, 3D animation and video mapping. I’ve collaborated with brands such as Netflix, NOS, Coca-Cola, MTV, SIC and BMW, and have created 3D animated content for projection mapping at cultural and corporate events and conferences. I also produce daily motion graphics packs for a national TV station. Academically I studied graphic design, color theory, multimedia, typography and print, and since late 2023 I’ve been freelancing full-time across motion graphics studios, 3D studios, video-mapping studios and live/events productions.
