about — Zachary Shin

California born and raised, I am currently pursuing a B.A. in Theater, Scenic and Production Design at UCLA’s School of Theater, Film, and Television.

I am a visual artist focused on environment design for film, virtual production, and real-time workflows. My work emphasizes environments that support story, mood, and world logic, with attention to structure, scale, lighting, and atmosphere. I’m especially drawn to immersive worlds such as dystopian and cyberpunk cityscapes, urban environments, and stylized realities that have really strong atmosphere :D

Through projects involving Unreal Engine, virtual production, and XR environments, I have gained hands-on experience collaborating across digital and physical pipelines within real-world production constraints. This portfolio presents selected work that reflects my current focus and ongoing growth.
