Paula Karanja is a visual development artist whose work is strongly orientated towards allegorical storytelling using graphic lines, geometric shapes, flattened perspective, and patterns. She specializes in creating rich, world-building visuals for Animation, Games, XR, and Graphic Applications.

She is currently developing an Extended Reality experience and 2D Animated series called Mkoko about two city-dwelling siblings who are drawn into the spirit world of their ancestral coastal home, where they must mend a broken bond between humans and the Fal—ancient guardians of the land—or risk the destruction of both realms. Along the way, they face trickster spirits, unravel family secrets, and repair their strained relationship with the laws of nature.
