A course by Moncho Massé
As a child of the ‘80s, Moncho grew up glued to the screen. If he wasn’t playing his favorite Nintendo or Sega games, he was marveling at the latest from Toriyama, Miyazaki, Disney, and Cartoon Network. Today, these references have led him to develop his own style as a motion graphics designer.
Moncho studied audiovisual communication and journalism at the Universitat de València before working as a video editor for a small agency in Amsterdam. It was there that he found his true passion for animation, leading him to work on different motion graphics projects for a wide variety of clients.
