I'm a 2D animator, cartoonist, and story artist currently based in Mexico City.

I've always had a passion for storytelling and design, and when I found out that could be a career it was basically impossible for me to focus on anything else.

I graduated from Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) in 2016 with a BA in Animation and Digital Art. In my last year of university, I attended DePaul University in Chicago for a semester, focusing on animation production and game design. That year, I also started self-publishing my webcomic Burrowmates, a slice-of-life story about three animal friends who share a burrow.

After a series of graphic design, illustration, and motion graphics freelance jobs, I enrolled in the Classical Animation program at Vancouver Film School in 2020. I completed it in January 2021 with the graduation film Libra's Magic Hacks: APPLES, about a witch who's an amateur online influencer.

Since then, I have worked as a 2D animator in projects like Rick and Morty, Yo Gabba Gabba!, and My Brother the Monster. I've also worked as a clean-up artist and as a storyboard artist, which I aim to pursue more in the next stage of my career.

Between gigs, I'm always updating Burrowmates and developing my other concepts on my Patreon.

I'm available for paid work (full-time or freelance):
