My name is Marco Caradonna, production designer, art director and visual development artist with over 16 years of experience in the animation and video game industry, currently living in Italy.
Right now I'm overseeing the production of the feature film Monstrous Mia, scheduled for release in 2026.
I've been working with clients such as Axis Animation, Netflix, Hasbro, Disney, Microsoft, Warner Bros, Endemol, BBC and many others.
When I'm not working I enjoy climbing, exploring new places, and spending time with family, friends and pets.
