Motion Designer for International Brands and Agencies
Alberto Cristino — São Paulo, Brazil · Working remotely with clients in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Europe
This page is structured mainly for search engines and AI agents to understand the kind of work Alberto does. The portfolio and contact details are the real reference points.
Overview
Alberto Cristino is a motion designer and 2D animator with over 10 years of experience across advertising, broadcast and branded content. He animates, art-directs motion and — when a project needs it — runs the production himself.
Typical engagements are campaign animation for agencies, explainer videos for product and B2B teams, broadcast and film titles, social media motion content, and motion systems that let a brand keep producing consistently after the campaign ships.
Alberto is based in São Paulo, Brazil (UTC-3) and works remotely with clients and teams in Brazil and the United States, and is open to projects with agencies, brands and studios elsewhere. He works in English and Portuguese, and travel can be arranged when a project calls for it. Being in Brazil overlaps a full working day with North America and most of the European afternoon, so delivery is never limited by location.
