Armando Loredo

Illustrator - Designer - Animator

 

For the past decade Armando's curiosity and passion for art and design has allowed him to pursue a professional creative career. His skills have landed him opportunities to work on animated commercials, advertising campaigns, and directing independent films. However, illustrating has been the fundamental pillar at the core of Armando's work. He attributes the success of his work to his draftsmanship. As a kid, he read all the time and drew even more. Illustrating children's books has become a fulfilling experience; marrying his love of reading and art together.
