Hi, I'm Saulo Nate! 

I’m a visual development artist, creative director, and character designer based in Philadelphia. I lead my own visual art business, Pixel Grove Studio, where I get to collaborate with amazing teams to create unique and impactful projects.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to incredible studios and productions like Warner Brothers, Disney Lorcana (Ravensburger), Nexus Studios, Made By Things, and The Sandbox game.

When I’m not working on professional projects, you’ll probably find me sketching animals or brainstorming ideas for fantasy worlds—usually with a cup of coffee in hand. I also make time to hit the gym, balancing my creative work with staying active.

My passion for character design runs deep, and I’m thrilled to lead this course. We’ll dive into the fundamentals and creative techniques that bring characters to life, so if you’re passionate about storytelling through design, this journey is for you.
