Art Director. BRAND DEVELOPmENt. NEW IP
I’m Kevin, a Miami-based Art Director with over 20 years in AAA, PC and mobile games. I develop visual identities for new IP and help established franchises evolve.
My work includes modernizing Stumble Guys’ visual language and brand presentation, establishing the initial art direction for Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus, and developing Rivengard’s original world. Across Fortis, Wildlife and earlier roles at Blizzard and Creative Assembly, I’ve combined hands-on craft with creative leadership, audience testing and production development. Teaching and artist mentorship have remained central to my approach.
I am currently at Fortis Games on their New Games Slate.
CLear Vision. Cohesive brands. empowered teams.
I bring art, narrative, gameplay presentation and marketing together around a shared creative direction. Through UA creative testing and visual iteration, I explore what connects with players and use those insights to sharpen a game’s identity.
I build the teams, partnerships and traditional and AI-assisted workflows needed to sustain that direction through development and live operations.
