Hi! I’m Carla Montalvo, an Animation Artist from Peru.
I grew up building worlds out of boxes and painting the walls as backdrops for my games and stories. Over time, I discovered that animation held the same kind of magic — the power to comfort, inspire, and sometimes, to heal. The stories I watched as a teenager gave me strength during difficult moments, and that’s when I realized: animation can save lives.
Today, I carry that same sense of wonder into my work as a Background Designer and Visual Development Artist. With over 6 years of experience in animation, I’ve contributed to projects featured on Cartoon Network, HBO Max, and Apple TV+. I’m also the creator of the 2D animated series “Agridulces Aventuras de Ari & Rumi,” currently in early development — a project born from my desire to explore identity, tenderness, and the living culture of Abya Yala.
I’m always excited to connect with creative teams and projects that aim to build meaningful worlds and tell stories that stay with people.
