Ernesto Aguilar

Ernesto was born and raised in the Mission district of San Francisco. He spent much of his youth painting murals all over the San Francisco Bay Area and eventually travelled abroad to teach mural painting in Lebanon. After years of painting and teaching he decided to get his degree in art because he realized that his talent for color and paint could bring things to life in the digital world. Ernesto studied at the Academy of Art where he got his BFA in 3D Animation and is now finishing his MFA in his new area of passion, Look Development (Texture and Lighting). He is someone who excels under pressure and thrives on being a part of a team. Working in collaboration with others has always been a strength of his, and he appreciates the opportunity it provides to continually grow his skills and learn from others.
