ABOUT ME
👋 Who I Am
Hi, I’m Sara Moncayo Bravo — a Layout Artist and Animator with over 8 years of experience in Animation and VFX. I’ve had the fortune of working on projects like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Season 2) and the Harry Potter: Battle at the Ministry ride at Epic Universe.🌱 How I Grow
One of my skills is feeling comfortable with discomfort. I love being a beginner—whether it’s learning something new, living in another country, or taking on challenges that seem out of reach. For me, that’s the best way to grow and push past my own limits.💬 My Team Culture
Kindness is my flag. I’ve worked with people from different cultures, languages, and time zones, and I deeply believe that respect and human connection are the foundation of great teams. Sometimes, a beer and a laugh after work can do wonders for team dynamics.🎯 What I Bring
I work with commitment, autonomy, and an eye for detail—because as they say, the devil is in the details. My experience helps turn complex ideas into strong, visually compelling cinematic sequences, always in service of the story.🔍 What I’m Looking For
An environment that values diversity, encourages curiosity, and builds community. One statistic that stuck with me says that employees who have at least one good friend at work are seven times more likely to be engaged. I believe it—because I’ve lived it.
