Worked with NMBRS, 88rising, and the creative team to develop a series of original character designs for the Head In The Clouds Festival main stage at Coachella.
Based on the festival's overarching creative direction, I designed avatars that represented different musical artists while supporting the narrative of the live performance. Each character was developed to fit its corresponding act, contributing to an immersive audiovisual experience inspired by Eastern philosophy, Buddhism, and the cyclical relationship between the sun, moon, and nature.
All visual assets were created specifically for Coachella's large-scale stage environment, requiring character designs that remained expressive and readable across an expansive LED canvas while integrating seamlessly with the performance's five-act visual narrative.
