Available to hire
I’m Houman Eshraghi, a film and television production designer and art department professional with 20+ years of experience across the full filming process—from pre-production through production design, set design, and concept development. I specialize in building visual worlds through concept illustration, storyboards, and hands-on art direction, and I’m comfortable managing schedules and budgets to keep productions running smoothly.
I also bring strong craft and technical skills to every project: painting, sculpting, and illustration paired with 3D Rhino workflows, Unreal Engine real-time rendering, and AutoCAD. Over the years, I’ve contributed to major TV series and Netflix features in roles such as production designer, assistant art director, set designer, storyboard artist, and concept artist, and I’ve also taught production design at Vancouver Film School to help align design methods with current industry standards.
