A Bit About Me
Hello! I'm Juan.
For over a decade, I've navigated the dynamic world of animation, specializing in both CGI and 2D realms. My journey has seen me directing stories, animating characters, and collaborating with talented teams from around the globe.
Outside the studio, I take pride in mentoring the next generation of artists, teaching courses in the scenic backdrop of Costa Rica.
My professional toolkit boasts industry stalwarts like Maya and Toon Boom, complemented by a suite of Adobe products. While tools are essential, it's the passion, camaraderie, and the pursuit of excellence that truly drive each project to its zenith.
