Available to hire
I am Kayla du Toit, a passionate, reliable and trustworthy artist who thrives on drive and collaboration. I specialise in illustration, storyboard art, concept art, 3D work, and UI design, and I’m always eager to learn and grow my skills.
I bring a disciplined, hands-on approach to team projects, with experience from Netflix/Triggerfish labs and multiple South African studios. I love creating cohesive visuals, sharing knowledge with teammates, and pushing creative boundaries across games and media.
