About Fernando Cunha

Senior Motion Designer & Creative Director with 15+ years of experience creating visually engaging content for TV, cinema, and interactive media. I bring a strong blend of 2D animation, art direction, and storytelling to deliver projects that connect emotionally and visually. As co-founder of Apiario Creative Studio, I led multidisciplinary teams from concept to final delivery, shaping branding, animation, and visual design for clients across entertainment and advertising. Currently at PearFiction Studios, I focus on 2D animation and motion design for games, combining artistic vision with technical expertise in Spine, After Effects, and integrated art-development collaboration. Alongside motion design, I have a background as a Tabletop Game Designer, having created, developed, and tested original board games for both hobby and mass markets. I coordinated one of Brazil’s largest communities of game creators and testers through regular playtesting sessions and collaborative events, gaining strong skills in game mechanics, user experience, visual design, playtesting, and community management. My work is driven by curiosity, craftsmanship, and a passion for transforming ideas into experiences, whether on screen or on the table!
