Paco was an excellent teacher during my time at AIE, always ready to teach and help out around the class while we worked on our final projects. He always showed a strong passion and cheerful nature that brightened up the classroom no matter the day. Can't wait to see what he works on next!

Paco had been a great teacher to me at AIE, he is a passionate individual towards both 3D art and teaching. Paco is very efficient and skillful as a 3D artist, he always manages to help solve any problems that I had, he would also provide useful tutorials and sources on any 3D studies. As a teacher, he is very approachable and patients towards his students, always ready to help at any time. I would highly recommend Paco as a 3D generalist and a teacher too.
