After working in design studios for several years, I decided to branch
out on my own to enhance my unique design style —
a style that blends
my love of drawing and illustration with contemporary design.
My style reflects my love of animation, comic books and pop culture.
Today I have a new tool under my belt. I have just
completed a course
in Game Art and Animation at Seneca College and have made the transition
from Graphic Designer to
Game Designer. My focus is on Environment
Modelling.
When playing video games the first thing I look at is the environment.
If the main character is designed not to my taste I
still enjoy the game because of the well designed environment . I love rich, detailed and in-depth environments.
I believe
environments really sell the experience of a game.
