Visual Development Artist

Tory Polska is a visual development artist from Ukraine. Growing up, she was always interested in drawing, but began studying marketing on account of her love for math. A year later, she was let go from the course, which allowed her to find and follow her true passion—animation. Inspired by the artists behind the creation of her favorite animated movies, she decided to pursue a creative career of her own, completing a bachelor of fine arts in graphic design and later learning to work in 3D in particular.

Now, Tory specializes in the development of believable visual worlds for TV and film. She has worked for studios including Netflix and DreamWorks TV, as well as on international projects like Catsaway. She also spoke at the TEDxKyiv about how animation affects people, and has had her work exhibited at the London Transport Museum.
