Michel Guzman

My name is Michel, a 2d character animator born in Mexico, living in Canada. I have been working for the last 10 years in one of the best jobs in the world, character animation. I would like to keep working in what I love, growing as an artist, learning from my teammates and enjoying every project. I have experience working on animation series and films, half of my career as an animator and the other half as an animation supervisor, I like to face new challenges, I think is very helpful to deal with different styles in order to achieve a better mindset as an animation artist. I believe in teamwork and I'm proud of what I have achieved because of my team and friends.
