Iโ€™m a creative freelance animator with extensive experience specializing in animation, motion graphics, character design, and mixed-media creation.

Animation allows me to explore a world of endless possibilitiesโ€”shaping new ideas and bringing stories to life through movement. My training at School of Motion (USA), combined with hands-on experience in real-world projects, has equipped me with the skills to tackle challenges and deliver outstanding results.

Originally from Buenos Aires, Iโ€™ve spent much of my life in Spain and England, which has given me a global perspective and a deep appreciation for diverse cultures. I thrive on collaborating with people from around the world, embracing new ideas, and sharing my own. For me, creativity and connection have no borders.

a little more about me

Bringing my creativity to life, experimenting, and achieving visually stunning results is where I find deep fulfillment. It's like rediscovering the joy of surprising myself, just like when I was a kid.

"Over the past decade, Iโ€™ve made it a mission to find and collaborate with the best animators in the world. Working with Martin has been one of the absolute highlights. Heโ€™s fast, collaborative, responsive to feedbackโ€”and most importantly, heโ€™s really, really good. Every time I start a new video project, heโ€™s the first person I call.".
