Character Designer careers

A Character Designer creates and develops unique characters for various media, including animation, video games, and films. You might work in a design studio, animation company, or gaming firm. Character Designers focus on visual aesthetics, personality traits, and ensuring characters align with the project's overall theme. You’ll produce concept sketches, refine designs, and collaborate with other creative professionals to bring characters to life.

Character Designers play a crucial role in shaping a project's identity. You’ll need to be imaginative and detail-oriented, with strong drawing skills and an understanding of anatomy and movement. You’ll work closely with directors and artists to ensure characters are visually compelling and meet the project’s narrative needs.
