Available to hire
I’m Lincoln Renall, a freelance creative from Christchurch, New Zealand. My work spans conceptual design for games to product development and visualisations for real-world projects. Over the last five years I have served as Creative Director for an automotive manufacturer in China, directing Brand and Visual Identity, product design, and entertainment experiences, while exploring AI tools in the design pipeline.
I’m seeking a new challenge that leverages my diverse skills and my interest in AI tools. I have experience researching trends in AI for image and video generation, testing and integrating new tools into the conceptual pipeline, and collaborating across disciplines to deliver compelling visuals and engaging experiences.
