I am a Brussels based artist, freelance and in-house 3D animator, motion designer and film/video editor.
I obtained a Master degree in Audiovisual Media at Los Andes University in Bogota. During my art studies, I started working as a VJ at the techno scene of Bogota. Since then, my relationship with moving image, computers and software is a love story!
I moved to Brussels after my studies and started working as a video editor while making a Postgraduate Master in Transmedia Studies at Sint-Lukas, Brussels. In 2014 I decided to pursue my education with 3D Master Jean Yves Arboit (CGI Trainer) and specialized in 3D Animation, Motion Design and Film Compositing.
I have experience working in various production companies as a 3D generalist, motion designer and editor. I often collaborate with stage directors, designers, institutions and music labels. I like to establish long-lasting and inspiring collaborations with my clients. I provide creative technical skills, knowledge, and a broad view of digital media and its multiple applications.
In parallel, I produced and managed numerous media art projects where I push the boundaries of digital media. For those projects, I conceive, write, direct and manage all the production until its distribution on the market. The process includes finding the financial resources for its realization, management and coordination with budgets exceeding 45,000€.
I have a very flexible personality, allowing me to go from director to “directed”. My experience enables me to work in teams, finding common ground, coherent and creative, while respecting the facets of each individual. I have a deep sense of organization and respect deadlines.
My clients include: LiveMedia productions, Numediart - Research Institute for New Media Art Technology, Cryptic-UK, INS (International News Services), Orange Clignotant, Telescopic Recordings, Artem, Anouk & Co, These Days Antwerpen, BNP Paribas Fortis, L’AUTRECie, EULift, Metascreen, UMons, Institut Milton H. Erickson, Third Coast percussion ensemble, in between others.
