Rafe Johnson

I'm an art director and technical artist from Scotland, now based in San Francisco. I care about making beautiful things that feel alive — characters with personality, and games and worlds you want to spend time in.

At Tolan, I design characters and help shape the art direction, alongside building shaders, effects and animation systems. Previously, I built the Wisp character and its world for Apple Vision Pro, and worked on the VR experience of Virgin Galactic's spaceship cabin.
