About

From Guatemala city, recent BFA in Character Animation from CalArts (California,USA). Passioned by color and animation, looking forward to be a background painter and/or color stylist in the TV Animation industry. My long term dream is to create a musical / educational pre-school show.

Previously in 2012, earned a BFA in Graphic Design & Communications at Galileo University, Guatemala city. Looking forward to give back to my community, I’m working on a series of educational content in animation and film development soon to be released. Stay tuned!
