In this episode of Move with Power, we sit down with Daffy Hristova, a seasoned digital artist whose work has brought some of the most visually stunning films to life—including Disney’s The Jungle Book, Gladiator II, and Avatar: The Way of Water.

Born in Bulgaria, Daffy moved to London to chase her dream in visual and digital arts. Over the years, she’s contributed to world-class production teams, mastering the craft of digital sculpting, SubD modeling, texturing, lighting, and more.

But we’re not catching her in a studio—we’re speaking with her while she’s on a creative sabbatical in Thailand, part of a global journey that’s taken her from South America to Southeast Asia. In this episode, Daffy shares why she pressed pause on her career to explore the world, how travel is reshaping her creativity, and what this break means for her long-term artistic vision.

We also dive into her thoughts on burnout, finding renewal, the future of visual effects, and what it really means to build a career—and a life—with power and intention.

🎧 Tune in for a grounded, inspiring conversation about art, ambition, and rediscovery.
