Hi, I'm Paco Garcia, a Stockholm-based animator, illustrator and storyboard artist with over two decades of experience in film, TV and multimedia. I work across freelance and studio environments, creating visuals, storyboards, character designs and motion graphics for short films, animations and features. I love collaborating with directors, producers and writers to turn ideas into vivid, expressive frames. When I'm not in the studio, I teach storyboard and animation at AnimationsAkademi, Konstfack and SDI, and enjoy sharing my workflow with students and peers. I speak Spanish, Swedish, English and French and bring a friendly, collaborative approach to every project.
