Senior Character Modeler / Sculptor

Ecem Okumus Gocmen

I’m Ecem, a Senior Character Modeler and Sculptor based in London. My work centres on characters and creatures for film, from early forms and digital sculpting to the details that help a character feel present on screen.

I studied Stage and Costume Design at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in Istanbul from 2009 to 2015, graduating in 2015. That background in form, character and storytelling continues to inform the way I work.

I moved to London in 2021 and worked at Framestore from 2021 to 2026. My work there included character modeling, sculpting and shot sculpting across feature film and natural history projects.

I now continue my practice at EGGcraft, the studio I co-founded. Alongside film work, my personal projects are a space to explore new characters, anatomy and the natural world.
