Welcome to Bodin Sterba Design

Over 20 years of bringing cinema’s most iconic characters from initial sketch to production-ready asset.

Beginning at Stan Winston Studio and continuing through a long-standing collaboration with Legacy Effects, I specialize in character and concept design that bridges the gap between practical builds and digital VFX pipelines.

Entertainment & Blockbuster Universes

From blockbuster cinematic franchises to award-winning episodic storytelling, my design work establishes the visual foundation for creatures, heroes, and immersive worlds. Shared production credits include Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Jurassic World, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Fallout, and Superman & Lois.

Commercial Campaigns & Super Bowl Spots

Delivering elite visual storytelling under high-stakes production timelines, I collaborate with directors and top-tier agencies to anchor broadcast campaigns and primetime spots for the world’s most recognizable commercial brands. Having designed character assets for 11 distinct Super Bowl campaigns, my production roster includes Apple, Nike, PlayStation, BMW, Samsung, and Pepsi.

Practical Pipeline & Asset Breakdowns

A concept is only as good as its real-world execution. Backed by decades of workshop integration, my digital sculpts and assets are engineered to transition directly into 3D prints, makeups and specialty suit fabrications built around human scans, animatronics and physical props, and digital VFX workflows.
