My name is Nikhita Chandrashekar and I’m an Unreal Engine/FX artist based in Bay Area. I like playing around with real world and stylized effects utilizing both Unreal Engine and Houdini with a passion for visual storytelling. Aside from creating art, you can catch me playing badminton, spending time with my family and my dog Biscuit, and traveling. Thank You for taking a look at my website!
