Diogo Costa
Director | Concept Artist
Porto, Portugal

Diogo is a Director and Concept Artist. As a concept artist, he specializes in character design and visual development for video games and animation. With AAA experience he's worked on projects for Volta, Lucasfilm, and Coca-Cola.

His experience as a concept artist helped him develop a very pragmatic and results-oriented approach to creative work, which led to his first venture into film directing with “The Hunt”, an animated short film produced by COLA Animation and Studio Kimchi.

Currently, he splits his time between his directorial ventures (where he also acts as a CG Supervisor and Art Director of a collective of AAA artists) and his work as a concept artist.

He also dedicates part of his time to teaching new generations of video game artists at IPMAIA.
