Hello!I am a Digital Artist and Creative Technologist living in Berlin. I am a specialist in spatial 3D design and animation, whether in games, apps, advertisement or interactive installations.
I work as a freelance 3D Generalist, modeling, animating, building tools and shaders in game engines like Unity and Unreal. I have over a decade of experience with the complete Adobe Creative Suite and various 3D applications like Blender, Cinema 4D and 3D Studio Max. I work with Python and C#, and many sorts of hardware, including AR/VR devices and microcontrollers like the Arduino. I've also worked as a Creative Technical Lead for UX Design projects and as a Technical Artist for Interactive Art and Wearable Tech projects. I recently worked as a Unity Motion Designer at an XR company called Shoutrlabs and at a hypercasual games company, Popcore where I contributed ideas and skills in the production of creative ads for several games. I worked with the developers and the motion team to develop tools and efficient production pipelines and documentation. I love Art, Design and Technology and have degrees in Fine Arts from the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota and a Masters in Art and Information Technology from Chalmers University of Technology. EventsWe win the Runner Up Award in the Educational Experience category at XR Hack Cologne 2024 with team Unframe and Friends and our project Wonkybots! More details here: Wonkybots.
