Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I first realized my passion for creating art when I discovered the profound connection between my culture and the experiences I had while traveling the world. The beauty and diversity I encountered sparked a desire within me to express my own unique perspective through artistic creation. It became clear to me that art was the perfect medium to capture and share the essence of my cultural heritage (French).
I realized I wanted to work on creative industries when I realized that I didn't want to live the rest of my life stuck behind a desk. So here I am, stuck behind a desk...huh. Though having said that, being able to live freely as an artist, being able to express themselves through all sorts of mediums and being able to move the hearts of people in various ways(mostly through tears) is a large part of the reason I choose to be here...behind a desk.
My brother and I used to listen to video game soundtracks and remixes together all the time when I was a kid. I would play them far too loud into my headphones and listen to them all day. As I grew up, that memory and my love for creating music as a cellist and composer led me to know I wanted to play a musical part in multi-discipline media projects.
I was sitting in the movie theater watching Star Wars: the Force Awakens. Rey was flying over the water and her theme written by John Williams was playing in the background. It was all so beautiful and I knew then that I wanted to work in the creative industries. I just had to find a way to be a part of a project as epic as that.
When Zootopia came out, and on the television, there were showing the process of making the 3D animation. From that tv show I was fascinated with the character creation with computer programs, and it looks so natural. I start my first step into the creative industry by applying for the animation major at Brigham Young University.
When I was a kid, I was obsessed with the natural world, and the beauty found in its plants, animals, patterns, and forms. I loved how making lines on a page felt, and when I learned I could combine my love of these into one singular craft, it was as if I was home. Since then, I have aimed towards being an artist who combines their love of the natural with the love of the creative to make stories that connect people with this big, beautiful, messy world we call home.
I went to high school in a small town. Limited class options and a bunch of scheduling complications resulted in me taking a semester of every major artistic class the school offered. After a while, I realized I enjoyed these classes, but I was also more of a jack-of-all-trades than good at any one thing. On the plus side, when it came to the arts, video games just so happen to take advantage of most (if not all) artistic fields. So, I decided I wanted to go into games.
