Bio
Mouhsine Adnani محسن عدناني
I've worked with Francisco directly during my time at Magic Leap. He was my lead and was a pleasure to work with. He was the kind of lead who would always listen to everyone and made sure to do whatever he could to help. I always felt very comfortable talking to him and asking him for help and guidance. Francisco is a great artist, with vast technical skills also. I personally learned a lot working with him. I've also learned so much from him as a Leader and how he interacted with the rest of team. Francisco is also a very easy going person and very compassionate. He would be a great addition to any studio and I would love to work with him again if our paths cross again.

Francisco Cortina is one of the most skilled art ninjas I have ever worked with. His technical prowess mixed with his artistic eye make anything he touches a success. His abilities and craftsmanship go without saying as the results speak for themselves every time and without question. This combined with his copious industry experience make him a valuable asset to any project, team, or creative situation. Obvious skill set and experience aside, he is also a phenomenal manager, supervisor, and director. He works well with others, leads by examples, and truly cares about those he manages. Francisco strives to help others grow and be better at what they do and align with industry standard methodologies in content creation as well as in professionalism. There are few people I trust more than him to get it done and do it right. I strongly recommend Francisco for any visual and technical leadership role. If you are looking to make amazing high quality content with extreme efficiency and consideration, Francisco is the person for the job.
