The Knockdown Serenade
Character, prop, and environment development
The Knockdown Serenade is an animated and animatronic orchestra set inside a fictional bar. I developed its characters, props, color palette, and environment from early drawings through animation, 3D models, fabricated figures, and installation.

IngreS.O.S (Yuppie!)
Character, concept, and visual-language development
Visual development for a project centered on a call-center agent interacting with strangers over the phone. The extensive drawing process explored the character, workplace, and emotional atmosphere. The project ultimately evolved into Yuppie!, a non-narrative digital animation created in After Effects by deforming and transforming stock imagery.

Fantasía
Replica Studies and Stop-Motion Choreography
Fantasía began with an archive of more than 1,500 purchased toy figurines, many of them unofficial replicas of familiar characters. More than 150 drawings studied the small differences in their proportions, expressions, colors, and postures. The drawings were not animation frames, but close observations of the imperfections that made each replica distinct. These same variations later informed the choreography of the stop-motion short Fantasía a 2000, where nearly identical toys were arranged in sequence to create the illusion of movement.

Maglione
Fashion Illustration, Color, and Pattern Development
Adobe Illustrator garment drawings created in collaboration with Maglione Knitwear. The illustrations organize each collection through color, pattern, garment details, and relationships between looks. Developed through ongoing revisions with the designer, the drawings are shown alongside selected finished garments.
Year: 2024 - 2026
