Teacher Plus
Motion Graphics Designer

Fabio Medrano is an animations director and motion designer. Although he began studying production and audiovisuals, curiosity gradually led him towards art direction and animation. He is what the industry calls a generalist professional, since in addition to creating, modeling, animating, and lighting, he also enjoys the intermediate rendering processes, the creation of textures, and the final composition.

Throughout his career he has carried out projects for brands such as Orange, Nestlé, PlayStation, Pepsi, Bezoya; corporate image pieces for television channels such as Canal +, Nova, Discovery Channel, Cuatro, Antena 3; visuals for concerts by groups like Skrillex; mappings; and apps, among others.

From a personal point of view, he is passionate about travel, and tries to capture his experiences around the world in his work through color, textures, and environments. He is also in love with cinema and comics, two things he draws from when thinking up new solutions when composing an image, lighting design, symbology, the use of costumes, props, and more.
