A couple of years ago I decided to move to Liverpool with my partner. After years of working less than desirable jobs to pay for my travels around the world I felt it was time to go back to school. Game Design jumped out at me right away and I have been enjoying every minute of it. I love learning the many workflows and different software involved in creating art for games.

When I started paying more attention to the different worlds that games show off, and my own curiosity in how they are made.

During lockdown I went into a deep rabbit hole of looking at different projects and techniques which deeply intrigued me, and the end result was me enrolling in my current university course for game design & concept art. It feels like something I can really put my all into and achieve more as an individual by doing something I truly enjoy.

Two years ago. I've done one year of college in different IT subjects. Two modules were related to design and games creation, and I enjoyed them the most.

In 2012, when I was 9 years old I started gaining interested of how video game are being made and the process behind them. Some time later, with some of my friends we decided to learn a completely new game engine for use called Unity. This is where my journey began and 12 years later here we are.

I started learning blender after high school and found a interest in environment design and creating environment renders

I made the switch from accountancy and finance to games design recently and haven't looked back since. From a young age I've always loved immersive escapist worlds, enjoying creative writing and enthralled in (mostly fantasy) stories. I've been a games master for multiple table top role-playing games and it ignited my passion to make it a career.

I have always enjoyed expressing my creativity in a variety of different ways. However, it was when I started really delving into gaming that I became very interested into how a game works and how it's created, as I went through school I began to come up with my own ideas for different parts of games which led me to want to build up my skills so I could see these ideas realised.

I first realised that I wanted to work in the creative industries when applying for a course at college. At the age of 17 fresh out of my exams I knew I wanted to follow a creative digital route, so I applied to a university of the arts (London) game design and concept art course, this course is heavily focused on digital production and is allowing me to learn valuable technical and soft skills for said creative industries.

Ever since i was 6 years old, i enjoyed user created content in games and creating content in games like Little big planet. This had started my path in game design.

I first realised I was interested in the creative industries at around 11-12, I found art was my favourite subject and thought that I'd like to continue with that subject. As the years have went on I have developed more skills and hobbies that have only increased my passion for this subject.

I first realised that i wanted to work in creative industry at a young age when i found out i could work with a games company doing something i enjoy and working at a games companies that i grew up with.

I dont really know, I have always found myself interested in creative media.

The moment I started to play games. Seeing all the amazing work that they created, inspired for me to make my own works and one day to get recognised.
