“The greatest teacher, failure is.”
Hi! I’m Mariana!
A 3D animator, food enthusiast, occasional film geek, casual musician, sometimes gamer, tiny mexican, with a passion for storytelling. My journey began when I was a kid, captivated by the magic of Star Wars and their behind-the-scenes documentaries. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work on diverse projects, from mocap and programming to video game animation, archviz modeling, and short films.
This variety of experiences led me to my role as a Gameplay Animator at Dracma Studios, where I contributed to Candle Knight, a project that earned the Epic MegaGrant in 2021 and was released in June 2023. Collaborating with a talented team, I animated various characters with distinct personalities ensuring they were responsive for players, as well as a cinematic sequence.
I have also refined my skills as a 3D Modeler at Meridano and FQuattro, working on architectural visualization projects. I created detailed representations of spaces, furniture, and lamps while managing tight schedules. These roles taught me the value of communication, time management, and problem-solving, all crucial in my animation career.
My goal is to contribute to the film industry by bringing characters to life, improving with each project to create believable performances.
