About
Hello!
I’m Justin, an award-winning Puerto Rican Director, Animator, VFX Artist, and Designer from the Bronx, New York, with over 15 years of experience working on feature films, commercials, and AAA video games.
From a young age, I was drawn to the problem-solving aspect of technology and storytelling, which eventually led me to pursue a BFA in Computer Animation at Ringling College of Art and Design.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the best and most creative teams on the planet. I enjoy being involved in the process from the earliest stages of an idea through its final execution, creating work that feels bold, expressive, and intentional.
Today, I’m continuing to expand my work as a creative, building new projects rooted in culture and activism. If you have a compelling idea, let’s connect!
