I'm Teo (he/him), a 2D animator, illustrator, story artist, and filmmaker.


I grew up in Arizona, graduated SVA in NYC (2025), and am currently based in San Diego, CA. I like to play around with different mediums and forms of storytelling, but specialize in hand drawn animation and illustration. I'm always dreaming up new stories and my short films have screened at film festivals such as NYICFF, Fest Anca, Asifa East, CAFF, Changing Minds, EXPOSURES, and others.


My family being from Guam and Hawai'i, I have a heart full of salt water, reflected in a long term project "CHICKEN SCRATCH OCEAN" — an ocean art journal and platform.
