Vitor Ishimura is an Art Director and experienced concept artist with 25 years in games, VFX, and publishing, currently leading new game art at Wildlife Studios from São Paulo.

Known for building studios and mentorship programs, he focuses on team growth and maintaining a high quality bar while scaling complex productions.
