About
I'm Manu, a motion designer and interactive animator from Argentina.
Self-taught, shaped by movies, music and a lot of curiosity. I opened After Effects one day and never really closed it. Nine years later I'm still chasing that feeling, mostly through characters and interactive animations in Rive and Blender.
I care about the craft the way a film editor cares about a cut. The timing, the curves, the moment a transition clicks and everything feels inevitable. My inspiration comes from all over: a Kubrick film, a Fontanarrosa story, a Riquelme pass.
What I'm after is simple: animations that make you smile, but above all, that make you feel something.
When I'm not animating, I'm probably cooking, playing guitar, or trying to explain to someone why we drink hot leaves from a metal straw. 🧉
The Interactive Animator.
State machines, reacting mascots, illustrations that respond. I work in Rive to build animations that live inside your product and actually ship the way they were designed.
The Team Player.
I can plug into a larger creative team and find my place there, as an animator or leading the motion direction if the project needs it.
The One-Man Studio.
Script, storyboard, style frames, animation, SFX, final render. If you need someone to own the whole thing from start to finish, that's this one.
