Director Biography - Santiago Salas, José Mario Quesada

60% Producer, 20% Designer, 20% Animator, and 100% Costa Rican.

I have a Bachelor´s Degree as a Generalist Digital Animator from Universidad Veritas.

I started as a 2D animator, designer, and illustrator 7 years ago, working primarily for national businesses and advertising.

I've made works for the SUTEL, UNED, UCR, Tico Burguesas and Interact, primarily on the advertising and educational fields.

After 5 years of working as a freelancer, I decided to start my own studio, and with the help of friends and family it became a reality, now I am a proud co-owner and production manager at Journey Animation Studio S.A a Costa Rican based studio, working on all audiovisual, animation and video game fields.
