Tyler Hinde
Visual Development Artist
Tyler is a Visual Development Artist on the Bad Fairies team. Originally from New Zealand, he brings over eight years of experience spanning animated feature films, television commercials, and video games. With a deep passion for design, Tyler thrives on exploring the details that bring each project to life and make it the best it can be.
Before joining Locksmith, he contributed to a range of projects at studios including DNEG Animation (Angry Birds 3), Animal Logic (Shrinking the Treehorns) and Ludo Studio (The Bluey Movie). Skilled in both 2D and 3D workflows, Tyler is versatile across the visual development process - creating keyframes, character designs, environments, props, and colour keys.
Outside of work, Tyler enjoys developing personal projects, hiking, reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, baking focaccia, travelling Europe, and face timing his dog back home.
