About Dmitriy Astakhov

As a multimedia specialist with over 18 years of experience in video production, graphic design, and marketing, I lead creative teams to deliver impactful visual content across multiple platforms. Currently, I serve as the Lead Supervisor for CSUSB's video production department, where I manage a diverse range of multimedia projects and mentor students in video production, graphic design, and animation. My portfolio spans from live event production and campaigns for diversity initiatives like the LEAD initiative to documentaries, educational videos, short films, and immersive 360 videos. I have directed large, live event productions for LEAD (Latino Education and Advocacy Days), created visually grabbing 3D motion graphics, co-directed the award-winning IEHP commercial "Gift of Hope," and directed award-winning commercials for SBVC. My work has been broadcast on major networks, including NBC, Hulu, PBS Kids, Comedy Central, PBS, CBS, ABC, Paramount+, Cartoon Network, and TCM.In addition to my multimedia career, I am a versatile artist with a history of notable art shows, blending classical training in drawing, painting, and sculpture with cutting-edge digital techniques. From creating intricate digital illustrations to pushing creative boundaries with 3D modeling in Blender, my work reflects both tradition and innovation. As an educator, I’m driven by a passion for inspiring the next generation of creatives, guiding students to unleash their potential and thrive in inclusive, dynamic learning environments where art and technology intersect.
