Summary:                   

I am a skilled 3D artist with a years experience and two AAA published titles. I have been lucky enough to work as a Junior Animator at Lionhead Studios, and have spent 9 months as a 3D Artist at Rare, working on Kinect Sports Season Two and its follow up DLC.
I have a keen creative mind and am always brimming with ideas and concepts that I can’t wait to try out. I also enjoy problem solving and working with others to find efficient solutions for issues that arise during development. I am always looking to improve myself, and enjoy collaborating with others to find techniques and practices that will enhance the quality and speed of the work we produce.
Experience:

Project:
Responsibilities:

Over the development of Kinect Sports Season Two I took on many roles. Primarily creating in-game assets such as sports equipment, I also spent time rigging props for animation, and tracking down and solving bugs found by the QA team.
I was lucky enough to be kept on for the development of the DLC, and am very proud that some of the new game modes rely entirely on new art that I created.

Personal Statement:
I am a skilled 3D generalist with a years industry experience. My main strength lies in hard surface modelling, texturing and facial animation, though I have also studied character animation, lighting and rigging.
My time in industry has been invaluable as it exposed me to industry processes and workflows that were not covered at university. It has also given me a greater understanding of how a development team functions. I have greatly enjoyed working in large teams, and interacting with people with a range of different disciplines. I like to feel that I am a reliable part of the team and can lend my skills and knowledge to anyone that requires it.

Interests:
Other than video games, I enjoy reading and cinema. I’m always looking for an exciting new book or film, or to catch up on a classic that I may have missed. I also enjoy travel and I also enjoy travel and have spent some time touring Costa Rica with World Challenge in 2007, and spent 10 weeks touring South East Asia in 2009.
