Currently working as a freelance storyboard artist in Austin, TX. With over eight years of industry experience. Specialized in boarding action/drama, with some experience in comedy and musicals.

I am Lorenzo Mercanti, a young designer and visual artist born in Milan. I started studying graphic design and art direction, and developed my interest in animation and illustration since the first years of my studies. I’m now working both as a designer and as a freelance animator for the music industry and for agencies. With my projects, I love to explore surreal worlds and dreamy images filled with colors.

"I’m originally from Nottinghamshire and I’ve worked in animation for about 10 years now. I’ve completed a Masters in Directing Animation at the National Film and Television School where I made several short animated films including Max (2018) Dots (2018) Let Her Rip (2019) and my multi-award winning short, Something Borrowed (2020). I’ve also just finished Odd One Out (2023) a short funded by the BFI that my team and I are about to unleash out into the festival circuit! For the last couple of years I’ve been animating full time on BBC’s JoJo & Gran Gran in Bristol."
