Tuna Bora is an acclaimed Turkish visual artist whose clients include Google, Nike, Netflix, and Coca Cola. They’ve won awards for their unique design work on several VR and AR projects and continue to explore new creative spaces.
In this conversation, Tuna shares their story of immigrating to the United States alone in hopes of pursuing a career working in feature film animation. But after graduating in 2008—right at the start of the financial collapse—was met with very few opportunities.
They talk about unintentionally starting a daily drawing Instagram account (thats been going strong for seven plus years), directing their own projects with DreamWorks, and why they’re stoked about working in new, unexplored creative spaces like VR and gaming
Tuna also shares their experience with the unhealthy downsides of working with extreme laser focus and why just because you put more hours in does not mean the work is better.
