Hi, I’m Caroline Soares, a visual development artist focused on background design and concept art, with experience in character design, 3D modelling, and animation. I’m especially interested in building worlds that feel soft and lived-in, using composition, colour, and atmosphere to support the mood. I’m motivated by storytelling that feels intentional, expressive, and visually rich. I work across media and enjoy being involved early in projects, especially for the exploratory side of visual development where visuals and narrative grow together and ideas stay fluid.…Hi, I’m Caroline Soares, a visual development artist focused on background design and concept art, with experience in character design, 3D modelling, and animation.
