I am an Art Director, Visual Development and Color Artist with experience working as a freelance artist for various animation studios. My focus is on guiding the visual direction of each project, ensuring that the style and colors enhance the story and all elements fit seamlessly within the created universe.

As Art Director and Author of "Pepino the Accordionist", a 2D feature film presented at Cartoon Movie 2021, I led the creative process. I have also collaborated with companies like DreamWorks, Nickelodeon, and Netflix at Giant Animation, and worked on short films for Disney and Chick-fil-A Play. Additionally, I contributed as a Character Designer and Visual Development Artist for "Spellbound" on Netflix.
