I'm Cristian Sandoval, a motion designer and art director working across motion design, branding packages, and visual systems for film, television, and live entertainment. With a background in graphic design and illustration, I combine clear design thinking with a strong sense of visual storytelling.
I develop concept-driven visuals and distinctive visual languages, with a focus on entertainment branding and title sequences.
Comfortable working across mediums, I blend 2D, 3D, and mixed media to create dynamic and flexible design solutions.
Cat lover, indie video game enthusiast, and devoted Scorsese fan.
