Hello!
 

I'm Ankush Cholia, a Character Designer, Visual Development Artist and Creative Director with 10+ years of experience in the animation and entertainment industry.

I love creating characters that feel alive — designs with personality, strong silhouettes, expressive shape language and a sense of story.

My approach combines visual appeal with thoughtful design, using exaggeration, form and detail to build characters and worlds that connect with audiences.
 

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work across animated series, feature films, short films and original IPs, collaborating with artists and storytellers to bring a wide range of visual worlds to life.
 

My work includes projects such as LEGO DREAMZzz (Netflix), LEGO Piece by Piece, Suppandi, The Legend of Karna and the award-winning short film Cat and Moth.
 

Whether I'm developing a character from the first rough sketch, exploring a show's visual identity, or helping guide an art team, I'm always interested in finding the right visual language to serve the story.
 

Outside of production, I enjoy experimenting with personal artwork, illustration and unconventional design ideas. There's always something new to explore, draw or make.
 

Have a story to tell or a project in mind? Let's make something interesting.
