I’m driven by digital art and animation because they turn static imagination into a living pulse. For me, it’s about more than pixels; it’s about mastering the tools I’ll one day use to lead a creative school in Ecuador. I love the technical challenge of movement and the emotional power of film—creating worlds where the next generation of Latin American storytellers and animators can finally see themselves reflected.
Where do you find inspiration?My heart is in the middle of the world—Ecuador. I’m driven to show South America that our stories deserve the global stage, using every challenge I’ve faced as fuel. I find my flow in the grit of 3D animation, motion graphics, and illustration; there’s a real rush in mastering the tools that turn a cultural vision into a living pulse. Every project is a step toward leading a revolution, proving to the next generation of Latino creators that they can turn their passion into a powerful reality.
What would you do with $25,000?I will partner with Kuink Shop—an Ecuadorian brand known for cultural apparel and local illustrations—to launch "Kuink Labs," a creative residency in Cuenca. With $25,000, I’ll fund a high-tech lab to mentor artists in 3D animation. We’ll co-create a cinematic campaign that breathes life into their designs, turning digital stories into limited-edition gear. This merges tech with commerce, building a self-sustaining cycle that empowers Latino storytellers to lead the industry.
