01 / ABOUT ME

I make creative systems feel useable—and human stories feel real.

I’m Dalisay MT, a creative and art director, as well as an art ops nerd with 15+ years of experience in games and animation. I specialize in the invisible architecture behind unforgettable ideas: character strategy, visual pipelines, and the human scaffolding that holds it all together.

I believe the best creative work is built on structure—not chaos.
That doesn’t mean not having fun. It means not burning everything to the ground in the process — including the people. I’m not here to disrupt—I’m here to align. I’ll always advocate for clarity, care, and creative infrastructure that actually works.

I’m loud when it counts, gentle when it matters, and extremely allergic to busywork and tedium. I’ve made style guides that saved productions, pitch decks that landed buy-in, and pipelines that turned junior teams into senior ones. If you want someone to ghostwrite your vision, quietly wrangle your chaos, or make your characters hit harder—I’m your person.

ABOUT ME —ABOUT ME

I have a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Animation from Sheridan College and 15+ years of production experience in games and animation.

My work’s contributed to projects recognized by the Canadian Screen Awards—and more importantly, pipelines that didn’t collapse mid-sprint.

I’m the person teams come to when the spreadsheet’s haunted, the vibes are rancid, or someone needs to cry about scope. I take that as a sign I’m doing something right.
