Xencelabs welcomes Svend Gregori as our Artist Spotlight for September!

Svend is an experienced Animation Professional with an extensive career spanning over 12 years. Currently, he holds the position of Supervising Director of Animation at a studio in BC, Canada. Throughout his career, he has worked on projects for notable clients such as Disney, Marvel, EOne, and Teletoons, collaborating with studios across the province. One of his most cherished roles was serving as the Series Director for Marvel Super Hero Adventures, overseeing its four-season run.

Driven by his passion for animation and art, Svend has always aimed to expand his knowledge and overcome challenges. Recently, this drive culminated in his venture into Game Development. In his free time, he dedicates himself to developing his first video game prototype. Additionally, he publishes a video game development vlog on his YouTube channel to chronicle his journey.

Svend draws immense inspiration from nature, sci-fi, and medieval themes, which greatly influence his artwork. He eagerly looks forward to sharing his passion for world-building, Dungeons and Dragons, and video games with his community.
