As a 29 year-old, my various experiences and opportunities have served towards a very specific goal: becoming a filmmaker. I was brought up in a little town from the northern part of Colombia where oral tradition and storytelling are part of everyday culture, and as such, almost all I've set my mind to learn and understand have become a means to better communicate stories. My experience with editing, directing, animation, teaching and team leading has provided diverse scenarios where my storytelling has evolved and matured.
I'm experienced in writing and editing for movies and documentaries.
I can fully manage and coach a team towards specific goals.
I can teach and communicate on all subjects included in my resumé.

🎬 Want to work with the animator behind viral 2D hits and over 400 completed projects worldwide? A 2D animator who actually gets it, someone who won’t waste your time or money with amateur results you’ll have to fix later? You’re in the right place.
I help studios, agencies, and content creators bring their ideas to life through expressive 2D Cut-Out Animation and Vector Character Design crafted in Toon Boom Harmony and Adobe Illustrator for broadcast-ready quality.
If you’re looking for clean, professional animation that feels alive, connects with audiences, and meets every deadline, that’s exactly what I deliver.
💡 My favorite clients are those who:
• Need 2D characters or scenes optimized for animation (cartoon, educational, or social media content)
• Value clear communication, creative problem-solving, and consistent quality
• Want to build a long-term collaboration with a reliable senior animator who understands production pipelines
🚀 My clients have achieved:
• Over 100M+ combined views across YouTube and TV with animation I’ve produced
• Faster delivery times and improved visual consistency through optimized production workflows
• High audience engagement with expressive, appealing, and story-driven 2D animation
⚡ We’ll be a great fit if you’re thinking:
• “I’d rather invest once in the right animator than pay twice fixing cheap work.”
• “We want our project to look professional without endless revisions.”
• “We need a creative partner who adapts fast and delivers broadcast-quality results.”
🤝 When you work with me, you’ll get:
• A senior 2D animator who handles both illustration and animation—including character and background design in vector (AI/PSD)
• Smooth collaboration with organized file delivery ready for any production pipeline
• Animations that truly represent your brand or story, never generic templates
💬 What clients say:
⭐ “Absolutely sick, way beyond what I was expecting! Great communication and top-tier quality.” — djurnamn (Sweden)
⭐ “Genuine care for our vision and deep explanations throughout. Couldn’t ask for better.” — filfam (United States)
⭐ “He perfectly captured my vision with clean, expressive animation. Highly recommended!” — fuzzidebris (Germany)
⭐ “A professional 2D character animator who exceeded expectations in every way.” — illustrovski (Sweden)
⚠️ Not every client is the right fit
If you’re looking for cheap or rushed animation, or if you expect unlimited revisions, we probably won’t be a match.
But if you care about quality, storytelling, and reliability, you’ll love working with me.
🏆 My background in numbers
• 400+ completed animation projects for international clients
• 100M+ views on animated content
• 7+ years as Senior Animator and Team Lead in top studios
• Top-rated professional with consistent ⭐5 feedback and long-term partnerships
🧠 About my studio — ALEN ANIMATION
We are a small, specialized 2D team focused on vector character design and cut-out animation for studios, agencies, and brands.
We’ve helped companies streamline pipelines, boost quality, and deliver content that audiences remember.
Here’s what we look for in new clients:
✅ Open-minded, creative collaborators
✅ Respectful of timelines and artistic input
✅ Excited to bring their stories to life through great animation
