Daby's work
About Daby
I'm a visual development artist and assistant art director with over a decade of experience designing environments, backgrounds, and color for animated series, feature films, and illustrated projects.
With a dual background in architecture and animation, I approach visual development with strong structural thinking, attention to detail, and a focus on storytelling and visual clarity. I've collaborated closely with directors and production teams, built and maintained visual style guides, supervised background and color teams, and supported productions from early concept through final delivery.
My work spans studios such as Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Saloon, Nickelodeon, and Aardman, including projects like Merry Little Batman, BatFam, and The Breadwinner. Alongside animation, I also illustrate children's books for publishers including Penguin Random House, Candlewick Press, Oxford University Press and Lee & Low Books.
