About me
I've had a passion for g ames,
movi es and animation for as long as
I can remember. Since I was first able
to, I have been fiddling wit h computer
software to try and learn a nd recreate
all of my fa vor ite moments from games
and mo vies. Now, I take ev ery chance
I can get to improve and learn new
tech niques to implement in my work.
I have wor ked as a Graphi c Designer,
Ga me Designer , 3D Modeler, Illustrator
and eve ryt hing in between throughout
the y ears, but I still feel I have a lot
to learn, and hope to find a team with
whom I can work and gro w together.
