About

Hi, I’m Kaitlyn Kearns, a compositor, lighter, and 3D artist with a BFA in Visual Effects from SCAD. I love blending 2D and 3D elements to tell compelling stories across TV, games, and virtual production, and I thrive in fast-paced collaborative environments.

I’m proficient with Nuke and Fusion, Maya, Unreal Engine, and a full suite of industry tools. I enjoy building efficient pipelines, troubleshooting renders, and delivering high-quality visuals on tight deadlines while working closely with directors, engineers, and producers.
