About

I'm an executive producer. Most of my career has been in animation, VFX and interactive work, which is where I'm happiest: the kind of production where everything has to be imagined before it can be built.

Animation and VFX, from my own studios

I co-founded Studio Animal and later Bliss Pictures, and ran both. Studio Animal's very first project was the animated Anthem that launched Oreo's global “Wonderfilled” rebrand, directed by Martin Allais for The Martin Agency — a beginning that rather set the tone for everything after. Between the two studios we produced work for Nike — Adidas — Puma — Reebok — UGG — Lululemon — Dior — Bulgari — Carolina Herrera — Moncler — Zara — Mango — Desigual — Bimba y Lola — Tous — Selfridges — Shiseido — Maybelline — Coca-Cola — Vitamin Water — Nestea — Popsicle — Oreo — McDonald's — Bazooka — Damm — Voll Damm — Asahi — The Macallan — The Glenlivet — Netflix — HBO — Disney — Sony — Thomas & Friends — Vetreska — BMW — SEAT — Cupra — Volkswagen — Audi — Škoda — Lexus — Google — Facebook — Samsung — IBM — Squarespace — Qonto — BBVA — Banc Sabadell — Hastings Direct — Correos — Ajuntament de Barcelona, among others.

Advertising, alongside agencies

As a producer I've worked with Proximity, Contrapunto, Ogilvy, BBDO, VML, Grey and Draftpunk.

One I'm especially fond of is Por siempre jamás, Audi's Christmas film with Proximity Barcelona: a fairy tale retold so the princess ends up a racing driver. It won the Grand Prix at the Inspirational Festival, with Golds in Branded Content and Audiovisual Production, the Gran Ampe de Oro and an Ampe de Oro in Digital, and the Premio Control for best spot of the year.

Film

Two animated short films, both produced at Bliss. Muerte Murciélago, directed by Carlos Saiz, ran for Best Animated Short at the 37th Goya Awards. Jervasio, directed by Félix Bollaín and David Rosel and co-produced with Little Spain, has been travelling festivals since 2025.

Installations

Symphony and Ravel's Bolero for Fundació “la Caixa”, with IGOR Studio. Symphony took a Thea Award and the Grand Prix at the 2022 European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra, competed in the VR selection at Cannes, and has been a permanent installation at CaixaForum Barcelona ever since, with a touring version that has reached audiences all over Spain.

Live events

The Telefónica centenary concert at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, led by Lang Lang. And, as bidding producer, the production design and budget for the inauguration of the Sagrada Família's Tower of Jesus — broadcast around the world in June 2026.

Alongside all of it, thirteen years running companies. I studied Audiovisual Communication, then Accounting and Business Studies, and in 2026 I finished an Executive Master in Finance at ESADE. Producing has always been half craft and half arithmetic, and I wanted to be good at both halves.

What I love, underneath all of it, is simply producing. Any project, audiovisual or cultural, that hasn't been made yet.

For productions, collaborations, and commissions, let's talk.
