Hello, I'm Tiago Patrício.
For the past 13 years, I've dedicated my career to the art of motion, working as a Motion Designer, Rigger, and 2D Character Animator. My experience spans a wide range of media, from digital campaigns and OOH advertising to broadcast and cable television. I thrive on new challenges and am committed to continually updating my skills to stay at the forefront of industry techniques and trends.
My passion lies in character animation, where I specialize in creating expressive performances and even developing scripts to streamline my workflow. My toolkit is centered around the Adobe Suite—especially After Effects combined with the powerful Duik Angela rigging script—and Blender for all my 3D asset needs.
Looking for a creative partner? Let's create something amazing together.
