I originally trained as a traditional artist, centering on drawing, engraving and painting, yet my professional life has been spent working in the Mexican film, animation and visual effects industries, from independent film productions down to advertising work for large established agencies, with a strong focus on recruiting, training and managing teams for digital production.
I've worked as a VFX supervisor, producer, and director and I was a strategic partner with Technicolor for the first branch of MPC in Latin America. In 2018 I took over the direction of Escena Animation Studio, supervising the production of a dozen animated short films, including my directorial debut Shimmer, for which I won an Ariel award in 2025 for Best Animated Short Film, among several others.
