Leo was born in Costa Rica, where he started out as an editor. He collaborated with several directors in the field, before deciding to specialize in cinematic post-production in Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica de México, where he discovered color. He then returned to Costa Rica, where he started his own coloring studio, working on films, documentaries, advertising, and video clips for twelve years.
Today, he lives in Mexico and works as a freelance colorist, working on content for Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. He is also passionate about teaching and gives coloring classes on a regular basis.
