Founder & CGI Artist
João
Novais.
I founded NOVAIS as an independent visual studio, shaped by my background in product design and an eye for proportion, material and detail.
Based in Houston · Working internationally
My background
From product design
to visual storytelling.
I’m a Portuguese CGI artist with a degree in Product Design and more than five years of experience in architectural visualization. My work brings together spatial accuracy, material sensitivity and atmosphere.
I have worked across high-end residential, hospitality and architectural projects, alongside furniture and product visualization. Now based in Houston, I collaborate internationally with architects, interior designers, studios and design brands.
Working philosophy
Design accuracy is the starting point.
Atmosphere makes it memorable.
I begin with precise CGI. From there, I use art direction, carefully controlled AI-assisted workflows and motion to extend each scene into a flexible family of campaign assets.
Work together
Available for selected projects
and studio collaborations.
