My work blends architectural visualization, CAD/BIM, and game-ready assets, and I am passionate about building curricula and mentoring teams. I thrive on collaborating across disciplines to turn concepts into production-ready visuals and immersive experiences. Currently I direct the Autodesk Training Center at Universidad Católica del Uruguay and continue creating 3D animations for metaverse and entertainment projects, partnering with international studios and industry peers to push the boundaries of design and visualization. I have the Italian citizenship and I am open to work in the UE.
