MFA - Visual Development
Nikhil Misra
Nikhil Misra is a Visual Development artist from Seattle, living in San Francisco. He is available for work, seeking visual development positions for film, game, and television animation.
Nikhil’s experience includes visual design and illustration for a wide range of clients and independent projects. Drawing, painting, designing, and collaboration are the common threads in his most fulfilling professional experiences, and he’s excited to currently be refining those skills as a graduate student at Academy of Art University.
Innovative storytelling inspires Nikhil most. Environments, props, set dressing, characters and graphic design are the disciplines that motivate him most because they bring a narrative to life. He’s deeply invested in worldbuilding and energized by the process of researching, collecting reference, sketching studies, composing cinematic concepts, collaborating and iterating on designs across production pipelines to best serve a story.
Ultimately, Nikhil hopes to work as part of a team to put something meaningful into the world, helping to craft visual stories that inspire others just as they inspire him.
