Art Director & Concept Artist


My name is McLean Kendree, and I love making games.
As an Art Director, I focus on bringing teams together and ensuring a game’s art has a clear, exciting, and distinctive vision. I’ve built comprehensive art style guides and moved key features forward by creating feature pitches and presenting them across the team. I’m big on open collaboration. I set up regular check-ins between concept, design, and narrative so everyone stays in sync, and I encourage artists to lean into their strengths and creative instincts. I give feedback rooted in measurable goals without micromanaging, and I’m always looking for ways to support teammates with potential to grow into leadership roles.
​
My eye as an Art Director is informed by my experience as a concept artist, and my ability to draw and paint is my superpower when it comes to guiding others on my team how to achieve a vision. I am a craft-focused leader ready to guide and mentor my team, and I can't wait to bring that experience and passion to your studio.
