I'm Flavio, a motion designer and animator based in Washington, DC.

I'm currently working for the World Resources Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to tackling climate change. My process involves script writing, storyboarding, visual concept, animation and sound design.

I come from the advertising world, where I worked as a copywriter in various ad agencies for many years. I have a degree in social communication, an MBA in marketing, and certifications in design, animation, and video content.

In 2016, I started my career in motion design and animation. Since then, I have dedicated time to learning new techniques, solving complex problems, and telling stories.
