About Author

I’m a freelance director and motion graphics designer, born in Madrid, trained in London, and currently location independent, working remotely from any tropical island with a good Internet connection.

I’ve been in the motion graphics business for almost 20 years, many of them as a freelance, in charge of all kinds of projects for national and international clients, from movies to videogames, series, commercials, and TV shows.

Throughout my career I’ve sticked my finger in every pie, but eventually I managed to focus exclusively on the field of motion graphics, design and animation, especially something called FUI (Fantasy User Interface); A.K.A. Screen Design for movies and video games.

I have been lucky enough to work with some of the best motion studios in the world, on movies like Avengers, Star Wars, Spectre or Kingsman and video games like NBA 2K, Call of Duty, or Need for Speed.
