I'm Mariana Duran, an Animator & Illustrator with a passion for storytelling and turning bold, high-quality visual ideas into life. I work across Maya, Toon Boom Harmony, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Nuke, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and more to craft engaging characters and environments that support narrative. Recently I planned storyboards from concept to final animation, coordinating color palettes and poses to communicate the feel of the story. I enjoy collaborating with brands and delivering under tight deadlines, such as creating a cohesive mural for Franco Manca Bournemouth that aligns with branding and architecture while maintaining quality and client satisfaction.
