Dheeraj Varandani

Lighting and Look Development Artist

Omaha, NE, USA
I am a recent graduate from Savannah College of Art and Design, with BFA in Visual Effects and Technical Direction. I love to create beautiful Computer Generated Imagery. Apart from creating beautiful pixels, I also enjoy capturing beautiful atmospheric moods on camera.

I believe in telling great ideas and stories beautifully. I am also strongly passionate about the evolution of computer-graphics technology, which makes bringing these beautiful experiences to life possible. I strive to contribute to the amazing world of CG everyday and in every way I can. I also believe strongly in the power honest team-work and making great things happen together. I enjoy learning about new tools and technology to constantly improve my workflow and enhance my skill-set.

I come from a family with Medical Science background and I’m always curious about learning new scientific concepts. Hence, I also aspire to contribute to Education through what I do. I am training in computer-graphics since I was 14, and visual effects have been a big part of my life. I have spent most of my days in high school creating CG models and experimenting with Autodesk Maya.

Always open to collaborations, feel free to shoot me an email at varandani.dheeraj@gmail.com!
