My name is Ana Sigüenza but when I was at College everybody called me Siwe.
I am a Motion Graphics Designer and Nuke Compositor based in Barcelona. I am able to work remotely.
I have over 16 years experience in Post-Production working as a Video Editor and Motion Graphics Designer. I have had the opportunity to specialise myself in the Museum Field managing Mappings andLarge Format Productions.
Also, I worked in London during 3 years as a Nuke Compositor Artist in the Visual Effects Industry for Feature Films and Commercials. I had the chance to work for a number of Post-Production Companies including Electric Theatre Collective, CherryCherry VFX and BlueBolt.
During these years, working as a part of different VFX pipelines, I learnt different compositing and grading techniques. I also acquired a good eye for detail and the capability of being a problem solver.
I always try to keep up to date on the world of audiovisuals and try to learn something new every day. I am very lucky for being able to earn my living with what I consider my real passion.
With my Bachelor’s Degree in 2001, I collaborated as a Production Coordinator in numerous TV Commercials. Also, I worked as Script in several Short Films. Thanks to that, I discovered my true love: Post-Production.
