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


I was born on the moon, grew up in Arizona, graduated SVA in NYC (2025), and am currently based in San Diego, CA. I specialize in 2D hand drawn animation and design for motion (past clients include SXSW, Adobe, YUTH Magazine). I also make my own short films and comics in my free time because its easy for me to forget who I am. My films have screened at 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" — a place for my sea doodles and shop.
