Hi, I'm Gabriel Carrasco Melendez, a recent graduate from Concordia University with a passion for animation in all its forms. Over the years, I've explored a range of styles from 2D frame-by-frame animation to motion graphics, stop motion, and character rigging. I particularly enjoy working on personal short films where I can experiment with a loose and rough aesthetic. My experience spans working in studios as well as freelance projects, collaborating closely with graphic designers and taking on various roles from animating characters to post-production. I love the creative challenges that come with animation and look forward to contributing my unique storytelling style and skills to new and exciting projects.
