33: Leo Esteves -- Art Director, On Working With Heroes, Daily Grinding & Venezuelan War Stories
Recording our thirty third episode, the guest of honor today is Leo Esteves. Art Director, 3D Designer and car guru, he has worked with brands such as Underarmour, Ubisoft, Sky and more. In addition to running his own boutique creative agency, Leo is also known for the quality of his automobile renderings. Having taken a class with him in Learn Squared's Title Design mentorship, I can personally vouch for his skills as a designer and 3D artist. Calling all the way from Munich, Germany, a very special thanks to Leo for making the time.
