About

I’m a game and animation professional from El Salvador, currently leading creative work that spans 3D animation, game design, prototyping, and virtual production. Over the years, I’ve evolved from doing 3D animation work into leading multidisciplinary teams—supporting production from storyboards and character design through to implementation and delivery.

I enjoy building complete pipelines, from sandbox/prototype level creation to motion graphics and polished video showcases. I also bring teaching and content-moderation experience, which helps me communicate clearly with teams and adapt creative workflows for marketing, education, and community-focused projects.
