I grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, then moved to San Francisco, California, where I graduated with a BFA in Animation – Visual Development/Character Design from the Academy of Art University.
For over 18 years I’ve been a designer, storyboard artist, and director. I’ve worked for various animation and gaming studios, as well as publishers and independent clients worldwide.
I've been drawing and inventing characters for as long as I can remember, and I've always loved educational projects (I actually created a non-fiction book about cats when I was 6!). That still remains a huge passion for me, and in the past few years I've been indulging my teaching side by doing workshops for children, teens and adults.
