multifaceted designer

dano kobylka

Hello, my name is Dano, I am a 2D/3D Generalist specializing in Set Design and Environmental Design for Film and TV.

I have a formal education in 3D Animation for VFX and Videogames, but I am predominantly self taught through YouTube tutorials and Google searches. I have managed to pursue a successful career in Film and Television spanning 9 years, the vast majority of that time was spent working as a Set Designer in the Art Department. Other positions include: Art Director, Art Assistant, VFX Assistant (Vendor and Client) and Runner.

I also have commercial and residential construction experience, renovating houses and doing finishing carpentry, as well as working on large high-rise buildings; in addition to spending many hours on shop floors going over my drawings with Construction Foremen.

Additionally I have worked on a variety of freelance projects, ranging from designing sets and structures, to engineering and prototyping mechanisms for YouTube, to product design and patenting, to graphic design and photography for events, with interest in many other fields.

I enjoy working in teams and collaborating with other departments to reach an end goal; I am inspired by designing and creating, with emphasis on combining theoretical ideas with physical restrictions to come to a balanced solution. For these reasons I believe that I would be a good fit for your team so please do not hesitate to reach out! Thanks!
