Creative Producer
Canticos
Canticos is a series of shorts featuring bilingual (English/Spanish) nursery rhymes for preschoolers. It features characters and songs from Latin America and beyond. I had the pleasure of working in different production and creative roles for Seasons 01 and 02 of Canticos released on  Nick Jr., an additional season release on YouTube, and subsequent YouTube shorts. Below is a sample of some of the 50+ videos we created

This round of shorts was my animation directorial debut, working directly with a group of artists, designers, animators and production team, in house.
Animator Work
The very early Canticos videos were entirely animated by me. The designs came from their original bilingual books, and animated using Spine and After Effects. Although limited by the existing art, these animations were used in their early apps (now discontinued) as well as on their early YouTube videos which were later the springboards for the series on Nick Jr.
Animatics/Direction
As animation director for Canticos Season 03, I worked closely with the board artists to thumbnail and revise boards, sometimes jumping as an artist or editor to better fit the story. Here are some examples of the animatics in which I played a role.
