About

Imagem Born in 1987. Passionate for art and everything related to cartoons, video games and pop culture collectibles. I had my first experience with 3D animation when I was around 12 or 13 years old, with a software called Poser. Years later, after university and an intensive year at the Vancouver Film School, where I graduated in 3D Animation and VFX, I returned to my hometown where I started my solo career as a freelancer. Since 2013 I din't stop doing what I love the most: creating cartoons. Software Skills: Autodesk Maya, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects. Adobe Premiere. Design Skills: Storyboards, Character Design, 3D Modeling, Rigging, 3D Animation, Editing.
