Personal Profile
I am a qualified Digital Designer with a range of work experience. I have completed a four-year BSc Hons Digital Media degree.
I am skilled in using a wide range of media, including 2D & 3D animation, 3D modelling, Games Development, Graphic Design, UI Design and Web Design. I am experienced in team working, coding, problem solving and have excellent communication skills.
I bring all my learned skills into practice by creating graphic designs for communities I am a part of, and I have recently started working as a Freelance Designer creating graphics, logos and branding.
I enjoy video games and have been employed as a 3D modeller creating characters and items for a video game.
In my own time I enjoy creating digital art and exploring traditional techniques such as painting, creating projects from recycled materials & making costumes.
