Available to hire
Hi, I’m Miguel Crespo, a Caracas-born multidisciplinary designer and animator with a background in humanities and cinematography. My work spans from special effects and title sequences to 3D animation and graphic design, including contributions to Zootropo Films, Tizaral, and Fox Animated Engineering. I’ve grown through roles from intern to 3D Lead Animator, and I enjoy collaborating with international teams on educational, cultural, and creative projects.
Born in Caracas, I studied cinematography at UCV and completed design training at the Digital Design Center. I enjoy telling stories through visuals, and I’m comfortable working across editing, animation, and graphic design, in both Spanish and English in professional settings.
