She joins from Private Island TV

Ruby Nian Black Kite Studios

Black Kite Studios has appointed Ruby Nian as emerging technology creative. 

Nian will aim to bring in emerging technologies and AI to amplify the VFX studio’s creative and technical capabilities, experimenting with new workflows and platforms. 

She joins Black Kite from Private Island TV, where she spent five years working across a range of creative and production projects such as KFC Double Down and the critically acclaimed Meme, Myself and AI. Her experience spans AI tools and techniques, art direction and motion design, including developing and adapting AI workflows to create content across different visual styles and creative briefs.

Graham Bird, founder and CEO of Black Kite, said: “Ruby’s role within the studio will be to challenge the perception of VFX in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.” 

Nian said: “My passion makes work feel less like a job and more like a game I can’t put down. When I’m building something I love, I lose track of time chasing the next problem to solve.”

She added: “Every day brings a different challenge with no fixed playbook, and that unpredictability is exactly what excites me. I look forward to not knowing what I’ll be solving next with the incredibly talented team at Black Kite.”
