Leilanni Todd

Leilanni Todd is a New York–based Creative Director, artist, and educator with nearly two decades of experience shaping campaigns and creative direction for Airbnb, Apple, The New York Times, Squarespace, PUMA, and Target, working across leading agencies like Mother NY, Droga5, Squarespace, and TBWA\MAL. Her work has been featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, The New York Times, Wired, Fast Company, and It’s Nice That. In 2024, her generative-AI short Everyone is Chair screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, and in 2025 she received The One Show’s inaugural Creative AI Pioneer Gold Pencil. She also teaches Generative AI for Virtual Production at NYU Tisch as part of the MPS program at the Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center.

Alongside her commercial work, she is the creator of Floam World (2022) — a post-flood cinematic universe where satire, absurdity, and beauty collide. Built through generative AI and 3D media, Floam World serves as both an evolving art practice and a playground for exploring themes of consumerism, identity, survival, and her mixed cultural upbringing.

Her visual language grew from a background in fashion — launching a ready-to-wear and swimwear line before expanding into 3D fashion and animation. This design foundation continues to inform Floam World’s surreal, tactile, and unique aesthetic.
