I started my professional life as an animation artist in 1985 at EQUIP STUDIO for the TV series MOFLI, THE LAST KOALA, and since then I have developed my work across almost all facets of pre-production (creative, development of animation models, layouts and storyboards) and production (animation assistant, clean up, animation). I have also taken on directing responsibilities for both pre-production and animation. I regularly use Toon Boom Harmony and Toon Boom Storyboard Pro, and I have taught courses in pre-production, realization and traditional animation at the Sabadell School of Design (ESDI) and the European Institute of Design (IED) in Barcelona. My recent projects include senior character animation for studios around the world on TV series and feature films, along with extensive storyboarding work for various TV series and films.

Work Experience

Senior 2D Animator, storyboard artist, comic artist and illustrator at Multiple production companies and studios
January 1, 1985 - Present
I began my professional life as an illustrator in 1985, creating my first comic book pages for Ediciones B and taking my first steps in the world of animation working on the series "Mofli, the Last Koala" for Equip S.A. Most of my work has been in animation, where I've participated in almost every facet of pre-production (creative, animation model development, layouts, and storyboards) and production (in-betweener, animation assistant, and animator), in addition to leading both pre-production and animation teams. I started in the days of paper and pencil, acetate sheets, and Trick, and I've adapted to new technologies. In comics, aside from my previous work for Ediciones B, I publish in various fanzines such as "Hormigas," in charity projects like "Cómic21" for GRANADOWN (Granada Down Syndrome Association), and in "Andrea Down, Helado de huevos fritos" by Manel Cruz, as well as in "La Máquina de Albóndigas" and magazines like "Amaníaco." I have also taught pre-production, production, and 2D animation at the university level.
