ABOUT ME

KATARINA KUSHIN

ARCHITECTURE + FILM DESIGN

LUCASFILM ART DEPARTMENT

Throughout my journey in school, living abroad and the beginnings of the working world, I found myself continually drawn to the creation of cinematic space. My first projects working in the film art department include Captain Marvel, Birds of Prey, The Mandalorian, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. This led to an exciting opportunity to join the Lucasfilm Art Department as a junior concept artist. As I continue to keep expanding my skill set beyond architecture and into concept design, I hope to bring exciting and enthralling environments to the screen.

​

My days off include reading science fiction, listening to film scores, practicing yoga, and studying the great apes at the zoo. Any travel opportunities that arise, I take to continue learning about our beautiful world and inspire my global perception of design.
