Sai Sankar was born and raised in the rural town of Vaikom in Kerala, India. He drew since the age of 3 and was taught music and dance at a very early age. However his love for drawing persisted throughout childhood into adulthood as he joined the animation track in Manipal University, Bangalore, India. After graduating he realized that his true talent lies elsewhere , and joined the Fine arts program in Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art in Van Nuys , CA. This brought him into close contact with industry veterans and peers that taught him the ways of Entertainment design. He has since persistently built his portfolio for games, as his dream is to work for Historical third person shooters and RPGs for AAA games. He loves reading historical non fiction during his spare time and is an ardent fan of films directed by Stanley Kubrick , Akira Kurosawa, Jennifer Kent and Denis Villenueve .
