Summary
I am an experienced games artist with strong 3D/2D art skills and a huge passion for computer games with over almost ten years experience. I have most recently been working in an UI artist/ 3D artist role at Radiant Worlds with a very gifted and passionate team.
In my years of experience I’ve had the chance to work on a wide range of games from low budget PC titles, triple-A console releases, free to play apps/games and more recently a sandbox MMO PC title.
I’m experienced with 3D modelling tools such as 3DS MAX and MAYA, had some time with Z-Brush, confident with Photoshop and have used editors such as Unity, Unreal Engine, Cry-Engine Gamebryo and adapted to many different in house engines and tools over the years.
I have a BA (honours) in Computer Games Design and an MA in Creative Digital Media from the University of Teesside. I enjoy learning new skills and am confident and experienced working in several situations with a mature attitude and a keen eye for detail. I find that I have an intuitive ability to learn new skills quickly when required and enjoy working in a team environment.
