Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I always practiced traditional art in my spare time, but I never planned on being an artist until recently. I always thought I'd work in the sciences. It took years, but eventually, I realized that I didn't have to be a physicist. I could be whatever I wanted. I chose digital art, and I absolutely love it.
For the longest time, my plan was to become an engineer so I spent most of my time on science, math, cs courses, etc. However, I also loved writing, art, and creating music. Additionally, I played a lot games and spent much time analyzing them, although I never considered a potential game-related career until my senior year and quickly realized my future path was chosen for the wrong reasons. Creating games was something I quickly felt passionate about and I was eager to grow in every aspect.
Back in high school, I was given the opportunity to represent my classmates as my high school's mascot. This came with a lot of duties and getting people to the games was one of them. A few friends and I began to create content on our student section's Twitter account and it ended up being a big hit. Teachers and Students remember our videos to this day, and will never forget the honor of being voted the best student section in the region in 2018. This is what really began my journey.
My major in school is Communication Design (Graphic Design) but I always felt kind of "eh" working on a lot of my graphic design projects. Last year I tried a class in 3D digital modeling and it felt like the piece I had been missing. Now I want to learn everything I can in the 3D digital world and shoot as high as I can.
After my first year I was at Miami University, I switched my degree from Electrical Engineering to Interactive Media Studies. I'm more focused on web design in my new degree, but I still spend a fair amount of time illustrating. 3D modeling is also an interest of mine, but it's not something I get to spend much time on.
Ever since I fell in love with comics, tv shows, and video games. I remember drawing with my sister making silly comics and my mother telling me I should be an artist. I was so young I didn't realize people did art for a living. Ever since then I've had a drive to create something that wasn't there before even if it's something small.
I got to where I am from playing around with different media, and then I realized that I could actually make some pretty rad stuff with all of the tools that I have in my disposal. I started out working with 2D tools, moving over to 3D and then being able to actually interact with my creations in XR (AR/VR/MR), and I know that from here on out the only direction I can go is up.
