I’m David Serrano, a multidisciplinary visual artist and motion designer based in Lisbon. I specialize in high-fidelity 3D narratives and visual storytelling, and I’ve been helping shape a more premium 3D-motion aesthetic for the Portuguese entertainment and events scene. Across broadcast, startup brand systems, and nightlife/event campaigns, I’ve built motion-first design approaches that move fast without sacrificing quality—producing large volumes of polished 3D assets and motion graphics. I also enjoy bridging design and lightweight development workflows (like JavaScript automation) to streamline production and create standout visuals that perform well on social media.
