Brief Bio
Born in India and raised in the U.S., George started his creative path with a BFA Degree in Industrial Design. Growing up in a small midwest town, a career in the film industry seemed impossible: a "ridiculous" pursuit he was told by his instructors. But George's dreams for film design became reality when the Lucasfilm's prestigious visual effect company -Industrial Light & Magic, noticed his talent and offered him a position on their creative team, just out of school. At ILM George's earliest credit was oscar winner FORREST GUMP. He then quickly climbed to be a lead Visual Effects Art Director working on films like MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, JURASSIC PARK 2, STAR WARS: The EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI Special editions.
After 6 years, George left to pursue the most creative stage of a film's visual development. As one of Hollywood's leading Conceptual Designers, he specializes in creating unique and imaginative worlds, including the cinematography, settings, and vehicles that live within them. He is best known for his contributions to the Oscar-winning films DUNE Part 1& 2, and BLADE RUNNER 2049. He has collaborated on some of the most successful franchises, including The MATRIX, MARVEL STUDIOS, STAR WARS, PIXAR and more.
