About
I’m Rolando Salazar, founder and Creative Director at Cute Pink Animal, a playful boutique focused on motion, animation, design, AI, and narrative services. Based in Washington, DC, I help brands transform ideas into engaging visuals—from branded content to concept development and production—while overseeing the creative department and guiding a team of designers to deliver motion, web, and static campaigns.
Beyond my agency work, I previously served as Senior Art Director at Oberon Media, and I’ve collaborated with Deloitte and a diverse client roster including Meta, Samsung, Paramount, and Google. I work hands-on with After Effects, Premiere, Illustrator, Photoshop, Midjourney AI, and Runway AI to bring ideas to life—and I share a side project on This Day in Sci-Fi, reimagining sci-fi dates with AI-generated visuals.
