I am a illustrator, animator, and architect with a passion for storytelling, design, and animation. As a recent graduate of the MA Animation program at Kingston University, my work explores both the tangible and intangible aspects of human experience, often using visual metaphors to convey complex ideas. My background in architecture, which includes architecture design and drawing, enhances my creative practice, allowing me to approach animation from unique architectural perspectives, blending spatial design with visual narrative. With fluency in both Spanish and English, I serve as a cultural bridge between Latin American and British contexts, adding richness and diversity to my work. I have a particular interest in documentary animation, location drawing, and script writing, constantly seeking new ways to tell meaningful stories through dynamic visuals.
