Hi,

My name is Marco Caradonna, Production Designer, Art Director and Vis Dev Artist with over 15 years of experience in the animation and video game industry, and I live in Prato, Italy.

I'm currently overseeing the production of the feature film Monstrous Mia, scheduled for release in early 2025.


My past clients include Axis Animation, Netflix, Hasbro, Disney, Microsoft, Warner Bros, Endemol, BBC and many others.


When I'm not working I enjoy climbing, reading, playing with friends, and spending time with family (and pets).
