About

Hi, I’m Kyana Mitchell, a visual development artist and product designer who loves bringing characters, costumes, and props to life. I thrive in collaborative environments, turning imaginative concepts into production-ready visuals and files that teams can actually use to build real-world products.

I’ve worked on both children’s publishing and IP-driven entertainment, including Nickelodeon projects and toy design for Joyin. I’m always excited to explore new styles and techniques, while delivering polished visuals and practical designs for manufacturing and creative teams alike.
