Hi, I’m Leo Zarosinski, a Portland-based illustrator and storyboard artist. My illustrations have appeared in regional print media, online publications, and across social channels for some of the world’s biggest brands. I’ve also contributed key art for nationwide ad campaigns during events like the Super Bowl, and I enjoy shaping visual narratives through storyboards and development of animatics. I’ve freelanced since 2012, collaborating with national agencies on large campaigns and creating concept art for experiential spaces. In 2024 I served as Senior Artist at Yuga Labs, guiding visual development for a 30,000-piece NFT release and the HV-MTL evolution, while fostering a positive, collaborative team environment and producing imagery for brand partnerships and social media. Previously I helped build visual language for NFT collections, including Otherdeed, HV-MTL EVO1, and other projects, and I worked with Wieden+Kennedy on a KFC Instagram game, plus numerous pitches and social assets for major brands.
