CV
I am an illustrator, animator and creative director working in Mexico City. I am interested in the deceptive nature of words and language, exploring intersecting moments of visual and written communication where meaning is lost and new forms of communication are found. I speak English, Spanish and (bad) French. I freelanced as an illustrator and printmaker to fund my literature studies in Paris and Dublin, mainly exploring analogue printing processes (woodcut/ screen print), and bookbinding. The repetitive process of printing led me to experiment with animation and I have since worked across 2D and 3D animation softwares in advertising in London. I have a strong foundation in digital illustration and motion graphic design (Adobe Suite), editing software (Pr Pro), 3D modelling (SketchUp) and 3D animation (C4D).
