I am Karim Fatkhutdinov, a senior at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, studying Production Design. I am passionate about the design and production of sets, scenery, and experiences.

I have worked on numerous creative projects, gaining experience in set design, conceptual design, 3D modeling, rendering, CAD, carpentry, and decoration. In the summer of 2024, I was accepted into the DREAMERs Internship Program at Tyler Perry Studios, where I worked in the in-house Graphics, Design, and Manufacturing department and in the Art Department on Season 5 of Young Dylan (Nickelodeon). Since then, I have also worked in the Art Department on Season 7 of Assisted Living (BET+).

Before pursuing a career in entertainment, I grew up in China's Greater Bay Area, which fueled a long-time passion for urban planning and how environments affect people's lives. I now seek to use what I've learned to make new environments come to life while pushing my technical and creative limits.
