Hi, I'm The Rusted Pixel (but my mom calls me Paul). I love to create playful design and animation with a toy-like aesthetic.

My passions are working on animated advertisting campaigns with a strong sense of stylized design. My portfolio showcases the range of playful and stylized work. Some projects call for a very clean and minimal look, others opt for a digital claymation vibe and some want a balance of playfulness with a blend of realistic textures or models. It’s all about what’s right for the brand and the product.

I've been very fortunate to work with brands like Apple, Adobe, Disney, Nickelodeon, MTV and others. I’ve also worked with smaller brands such as Step Bank and Goldie Blox which had a ton of creative freedom and interesting design challenges.

If you’ve got a project in mind that needs an injection of fun and motion, let’s start a conversation.


A little bit about me.
