Khairi Reynolds

Khairi Z. Reynolds is a Los Angeles-based production designer and visual storyteller whose work spans film, architecture, music, and live events — building fully realized worlds from the ground up. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Syracuse University and is completing his MFA in Production Design at the American Film Institute, where he was named a 2024–2025 Canva Fellow, one of six recipients nationally, awarded a $40K merit scholarship as featured in Deadline Hollywood. His credits include serving as Art Director on the Academy Award-nominated short WWMT and the MTV VMA-nominated Avril Lavigne music video, alongside work for Megan Thee Stallion's Coachella main stage, Live Nation, Adidas, and Kevin Gates. The first African American male to graduate from AFI's Production Design program, Khairi brings an architectural foundation and a narrative-driven approach to every environment he designs.
