01 — About
Sushant Khadgi — Lighting & LookDev Artist

Grew up chasing the frame after the cartoon ended.

I'm Sushant, a Lighting and LookDev Artist based in Kathmandu. My interest in animation started with the "behind the scenes" segments that used to run after cartoons — seeing how a flat drawing became something that felt lit, textured, and alive is what pulled me into this craft.

After finishing school I trained at an animation academy and have spent the years since working across features and series — building lighting setups, developing looks, and making sure every shot holds its place inside the bigger sequence.
