Available to hire
I’m Kseniya Kandikova, a concept artist and production designer specializing in character and visual storytelling for film and animation. I develop cohesive set concepts, props, and visual assets from ideation through execution to support narrative-driven productions.
I enjoy blending traditional and digital techniques to create clear visual direction and production-ready art. With experience across live action and animation pipelines—along with strong bilingual (English/Russian) communication—I collaborate with art and photography teams to ensure visual consistency across environments and publications.
