Yani Balimezov

I'm Yani, a visual development artist and filmmaker from Bulgaria. I have worked on many projects in the field of art and design, including visual development, background art, illustration and art direction, and I graduated in animation at UWE Bristol in 2020. I also graduated from art school with a professional qualification in Fine Art and Graphics. I have many years of experience in art and design, and my latest project is my short film called "AVA" where I am the director of the film as well as visual development artist, background artist and character designer. I am now

looking to further develop my skills in visual development and character design.
