Diego Sierra

I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Diego Sierra, and I am an enthusiastic episodic director with a passion for crafting captivating narratives through design, animation, rigging, and storyboards. With 15+ years of experience in the Animation industry, I have had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects that have honed my skills in each aspect of the production process.                                                                                                                                                  

As an episodic director, my primary focus lies in bringing stories to life with visual excellence and a keen eye for detail. I find great joy in guiding talented teams and collaborating closely with writers, animators, and designers to create compelling and immersive experiences for audiences. My proficiency in design, animation, and rigging allows me to understand the intricacies of the entire production pipeline, contributing to a seamless and efficient workflow. 

While directing is my passion, I also maintain an active involvement in storyboarding. I believe that the foundation of any successful project lies in a well-crafted storyboard, and whenever the opportunity arises, I eagerly dive into storyboarding to add my creative touch. My versatile skill set allows me to adapt to various genres and art styles, making me well-equipped to handle diverse projects in the ever-evolving landscape of episodic content creation. 

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better. I'm looking forward to exploring new opportunities and collaborating with like-minded individuals to bring captivating stories to the screen. If you'd like to learn more about my work or discuss potential collaborations, please feel free to get in touch! 

Best Regards, 

Diego Sierra
