Kathiravan M, an Animation and Creative Director with over a decade of experience bringing stories to life through character, motion, and visual storytelling. My journey began in traditional 2D animation and evolved into leading large-scale 3D productions, original IP development, and creative direction for international audiences.

Across my career, I’ve contributed to global animation projects, streaming content, brand storytelling, and original intellectual properties — blending artistic craftsmanship with production leadership. I’ve led creative teams of up to 100+ artists, ensuring every project maintains strong visual identity, emotional clarity, and production excellence.

My work spans television, digital platforms, and branded content, including animation developed for Nickelodeon and projects associated with Netflix such as Mighty Little Bheem. I’ve also developed and presented original IP concepts at MIPCOM, where my creation Kurra Burra received strong investor feedback.

Earlier in my career, I collaborated on internationally recognized productions with creative inputs approved by teams associated with Disney and worked alongside professionals connected to Marvel and Power Rangers. These experiences shaped my approach to storytelling — combining strong fundamentals with industry-level production thinking.

What I Do

I specialize in building visual experiences that connect emotionally and communicate clearly. My work includes:

• Animation Direction (2D & 3D)
• Storyboarding & Visual Development
• Character Design & Concept Art
• Creative Direction for Brands and Media
• Original IP Creation & Pitch Development
• Hand-drawn and Digital Illustration
• Creative Consulting for Animation Projects

I’m equally passionate about handcrafted artistry — from expressive caricatures to cinematic animation — always focusing on storytelling that feels human, warm, and memorable.
