Introducing our amazing new instructor...

Almu Redondo is a storyboard artist, visual development and concept artist from Spain with passion for stories. She was born with a pencil in her hands.

Trained in traditional art since she was 6 years old, she grew up day-dreaming, sketching and doodling in her text books. She studied Architectural Design, which gave her a strong art theory, history and design foundation. As a result, she always looks for the unifying underlying structure in every creative project.

She has worked as a visual development artist for animation films and TV series. As well as being a concept and storyboard artist for the VFX industry for clients like Disney, LucasArts, The Weistein Company or Universal. She's worked on films such as Jason Bourne, iBoy, Stratton, Star Wars plus the Battle Quads advertisement and TV Series like Plebs III.

She is currently bringing life as a visual development and storyboard artist for clients such as Blue Zoo London, Flaunt Productions Glasgow, To Blink Studios Toronto and Cokoon games, with exciting Tv Series, short films and games to come! Stay tuned!
