Hi there! I’m Mariano, a senior motion designer with 20+ years of experience in 2D/3D animation, motion graphics, and production design. I craft content from concept to final delivery and collaborate with brands, studios, and educational projects across Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, and Sweden.
My work spans freelance projects for TV channels, branding, and live shows, with a focus on storytelling, timing, and visual communication. I lead cross-disciplinary teams, mentor freelance artists, and develop visual systems for digital platforms and stage productions.
Architectural visualization renders for Reebok, Columbia, and Crocs retail spaces
including interior layouts, lighting design, and material detailing for brand-aligned store environments. Developed from early references to final photorealistic output.
I handled the full production pipeline for these three animated commercials for Madrid television. As a solo creator, I was responsible for every single step of the process, from the initial storyboarding to the final render.
The main challenge was the first spot: it had the highest character count and a very tight three-week deadline. With no budget to expand the team, I had to find creative ways to optimize the workflow:
Character Animation: I used Mixamo to speed up the rigging and animation process.
Crowd Management: To make the scenes feel populated, I duplicated character models and offset their animations in time, creating the illusion of a diverse crowd without compromising the render times or the deadline.
This project was a great lesson in creative problem-solving and technical efficiency under pressure.
