HEY THERE, FROM SAULO!
My name is Saulo Nate. I’m a visual development artist, character designer, and creative director based in the vibrant city of Philadelphia!
I’ve been working professionally in the animation and games industry for several years now, and I’m lucky to have collaborated with amazing teams at studios like Warner Brothers, Disney Lorcana (Ravensburger), Nexus Studios, Made By Things, and The Sandbox game. I also run my own visual art business, Pixel Grove Studio, where I focus on bringing meaningful, original ideas to life through design and storytelling.
I’d describe myself as a creative and driven person—I’m always sketching, dreaming up fantasy worlds, and of course, sipping coffee while doing it. Outside of the art world, I make time for the gym and anything that keeps my body as active as my imagination.
I’m genuinely so excited to welcome you into this class. Whether you're just starting or looking to strengthen your skills, we’ll cover the core foundations and creative tools to help you design characters that tell unforgettable stories.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email or DM me on Instagram at @saulonate — I’d love to connect!
See you in class! :)
Saulo
