Industry Insights - April

We're thrilled to kick off our first speaker event of the year with the incredibly talented Taylea Stepp! Taylea is a seasoned professional with over 15 years of experience in conceptual design and visual development. Her talk, Imagination Art: Defining Your Style, will guide attendees through the journey of discovering and refining their personal artistic voice—whether you're just starting out or evolving your professional portfolio.

Taylea’s work masterfully blends traditional fundamentals—like anatomy, composition, and color theory—with digital innovation and storytelling. Her portfolio includes high-profile collaborations with Marvel, Hasbro, Mattel, PlayStation, and more. She’s currently concept designing for Project Winters, a 3D animated project that showcases her ongoing creative exploration. You can also catch behind-the-scenes glimpses of her work and thought process on our Discord channel.
