— Introduction

Artist.
Director.
Technologist.

I design cinematic, content-forward experiences for global entertainment brands — and prototype the future of industrial technology. From Netflix and Lucasfilm to AI-powered storytelling at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, I merge visual craft, immersive systems, and emerging tools to build what's next.

Areas of Expertise

01
Creative Direction

Through roles at Netflix, Paidy, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, I've built a practice centered on merging cutting-edge technology with cinematic visual craft. This fusion defines modern experiential design.

02
Illustration

It began at Lucasfilm with a Nagel-inspired 80s Princess Leia print that sold out through the official Star Wars shop. Since then: high-demand marketing pieces and limited-edition gallery prints worldwide.

03
Art Direction

A hands-on art director who has led teams creating company branding, product design, UX, and in-game UI. Sharp design thinking applied across every touchpoint — from screen to print to experience.

— About Craig Drake
Where Sharp Design Meets Future Technology

Product and visual design leader with 20+ years translating complex narratives — from Star Wars to confidential engineering — into cinematic, content-forward experiences. Equally at home inventing functional product features and building immersive content worlds, with deep roots in entertainment IP and a track record spanning Netflix, Lucasfilm, EA, and global brand campaigns. Bring an artist's instinct to interface design and a systems thinker's discipline to visual storytelling — giving form to ideas that don't yet have one.
