Mina Roy

I'm an Art Director and Character Designer with a decade of experience in building collaborative teams, setting visual direction, and designing memorable characters. I'm particularly drawn to storytelling opportunities that involve diversity, stylized art, and animal/creature-based characters. I especially love humorous fantasy adventures and deeper themes about mortality and the soul.

Over the course of my career, I've been fortunate to work in the industry as an artist, manager, and art director with companies like Finch Care, Crew Enterprise (formerly Versity Invest), Silvertoons, Etchr Lab, 1st Playable Productions, and various independent studios. I've worked in video games, live action and animated films, children's books, comics, physical product designs, themed entertainment and experiential park designs, and some exciting unannounced IP developments. My work has been featured in Moleskine, Gallery Nucleus and as a Webtoons Canvas Hidden Gem.

My greatest passions include my partner, our cats, and a deep love for immersive storytelling and world-building. In my free time, you’ll likely find me enjoying a black sesame latte and dark chocolate biscotti while drafting original stories, hosting gesture drawing sessions in my Discord Server “The Napkin Sketch”, and helping other artists with their businesses. I also build wooden devices, indulge in narrative-driven games, am obsessed with “Fullmetal Alchemist” and “King’s Quest”, and love collecting Pokémon cards. Thanks for stopping by!
