World Builder & Real-Time Environment Artist



I’m André Zakhya, a Los Angeles–based real-time artist and world builder working across film, television, music and immersive media.

With a background in architecture, my work focuses on designing environments that carry narrative weight  with a strong emphasis on lighting, color and atmosphere to define mood and guide perception. I approach world-building from a spatial and cinematic lens, shaping how environments are experienced, not just how they look. 

My practice sits between concept and execution. I develop worlds that translate from early visual development into real-time pipelines, often for virtual production and large-scale visual systems.

I’ve contributed to projects across television, live performances, and digital media, building environments that support storytelling at different scales and formats.
