I am a 3D Generalist and Motion Designer with nearly 20 years of professional experience in animation, motion graphics and audiovisual production. I blend artistic sensibility, narrative insight and technical know-how to approach projects with a strategic, multi-dimensional perspective. I have collaborated with agencies, studios and production companies across marketing, education, advertising and immersive media. My core passion lies in character animation and rigging, but I also enjoy weaving animation into broader storytelling contexts—through motion graphics, editing or immersive environments like Virtual Reality. Academically, I earned a PhD in Communication focused on the convergence of cinematic language, animation and immersive media. As an educator, I have taught at international universities, which has sharpened my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and creatively. I value innovation, collaboration and the pursuit of meaningful visual narratives that not only look great, but connect and communicate effectively.…I am a 3D Generalist and Motion Designer with nearly 20 years of professional experience in animation, motion graphics and audiovisual production.
