About

Pre-production Visual Lead and Creative Director working with production companies, agencies, and animation studios across UK, Europe, and internationally. I work at the earliest, most critical stage of a project — when the visual concept needs to be defined, communicated, and sold. My deliverables are treatments, look development, visual bibles, style frames, and concept direction: the artefacts that align clients, directors, and production teams around a shared visual language before a single frame is shot or rendered. What I bring to a project: Treatment and pitch development, look development, visual research and style direction — built on 10+ years of leading pre-production across commercial, animation, and game projects. I know how to translate a creative brief into a clear visual proposition, and how to communicate that proposition to clients and internal teams alike. Current and recent work: - Visual direction for CG production projects with Trehmer, ACID, Madness Agency, and Beavers Brothers (London, ongoing) - Art Direction and pre-production for animated series at Magic Factory Animation (UAE) - Art Direction and visual development for indie title "Inkonbini" at Nagai Industries (USA) - Senior Concept Artist and Art Director on AAA game "UFL" at Strikerz Inc. (Cyprus) Background: Trained in 3D and visual arts. Over the course of my career I've moved from environment and character concept art through senior art direction into creative and visual direction at the pre-production stage — which is where I do my best work. I've collaborated with studios and clients across UK, USA, UAE, Australia, and across Europe. Based in London. Available for freelance and contract engagements — from focused pre-production sprints to longer creative direction briefs. 📧 avduevskij@gmail.com 🎨 alavd.com 🔗 artstation.com/avduevsky
