About

Hi, I’m Guillermo Zapata. I am a senior animator with over 8 years of experience in 2D animation using Toon Boom Harmony and 3D work in Autodesk Maya. I’ve contributed to international productions, crafted expressive characters, and built pipelines that blend traditional animation with modern AI-assisted storytelling.

I’m currently exploring AI-generated video workflows with Runway, Midjourney, SeaArt, and Python-based tools, and I enjoy collaborating with creative and marketing teams to push storytelling boundaries. I’m excited about remote, full-time roles where I can bring ideas to life and mentor others.
