About me

Hi! I’m a 3D Rigger and Technical Artist based in Barcelona. My main focus is character rigging, deformation and building tools that help artists work with more control and less friction.

I create production-ready character rigs and custom control UIs that are clean, reliable, and intuitive for animators, helping characters and props move naturally and efficiently on screen.

Besides rigging, I also work in animation, 3D generalist work, modelling, texturing, VFX, Bifrost, Nuke, Blender and real-time workflows.

With a background in industrial design and architecture, I bring a structural mindset and strong problem-solving approach to every project.

I am particularly interested in animation and projects where technical work supports a strong visual or emotional story.
