Hello!

I’m Kristifir Klein, an artist with more than two decades of experience in feature film animation. Most of my career was spent as a sculptor and modeler creating sets and characters at Pixar Animation Studios, where I served as sets modeling lead on The Incredibles, WALL·E, Brave, and Toy Story 4. Over the past 22 years, I have contributed to 17 award-winning feature films, while mentoring artists and teaching internationally in Denmark, Germany, France, and the United States.

In recent years, my focus has shifted toward personal art projects, digital and VR sculpting, and exploratory work at the intersection of AI and spatial computing. My animation background continues to shape this work, with an emphasis on strong storytelling, clarity of form, emotional connection, and an iterative process refined through years of collaborative filmmaking. Alongside select collaborations and continued consulting for feature films, my studio practice now centers on designing and creating distinctive art objects and experiences. 3D printing my digital work has become a larger part of my process, giving close attention to materials and finishes, for limited small-batch solo production.

In 2026, I am opening limited space in my schedule for interesting commercial, studio, and brand projects requiring high-fidelity sculpting from concept through production. Please send me a message if you’d like to discuss your project.
