I’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 possibilitiesβ€”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, I’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.

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, I’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. He’s fast, collaborative, responsive to feedbackβ€”and most importantly, he’s really, really good. Every time I start a new video project, he’s the first person I call.".
