Available to hire
Hi, I’m Bojan Redzic. I’m a visual storyteller with 35 years of professional experience in animation, illustration, and character and environment design. I’ve taught at Sheridan College and Mohawk College, and I’ve developed course outlines and preproduction pipelines across features, TV shows, and shorts. I love mentoring students and collaborating with teams to turn ideas into engaging visuals.
My career spans freelance work and studio roles—from concept design and layout to location design and art direction. I’ve worked on Nickelodeon, Disney, Hasbro, and Mattel projects, creating environments, props, and character worlds, while guiding production through design and storytelling decisions.
