Hola! My name is Karla Medina...

A Visual Development Artist specializing in character design, background design, prop design, and character-driven storytelling. I fell in love with storytelling every night when my parents read fairytales of magical princesses and mermaids to help me sleep. Once I saw those stories come to life through animation my purpose in life became clear, I want to impact other little girls by creating designs as visually appealing as those that inspired me. With a BFA in Animation and a minor in Storytelling/Drawing from SCAD, I’m passionate about creating immersive worlds and compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.​

​

My artistic journey is deeply influenced by my Dominican and Puerto Rican roots, which bring rich cultural motifs into my designs. I have experience as an Art Director and Producer on SCAD’s capstone film, Kirilo, where I led a team of 17 artists, developed style guides and color scripts, designed props and characters, and managed production workflows.

​

I’m proficient in Photoshop, ShotGrid, Toon Boom Suite, and Adobe Suite. I have a strong foundation in project management, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. My goal is to bring visually diverse stories to life through animation and games.​

I’m always open to new opportunities and collaborations—feel free to connect with me! Feel free to email me at karlamedinafadul@gmail.com.
