Experience

• Lead Environment Artist at The Chinese Room

  Brighton, GB

  July 2020 - Present

  As the Lead Environment Artist, I maintained and adapted the art pipeline for Still Wakes The Deep, while managing, at times, up to 11 artists. Working on Still Wakes The Deep was a new and exciting challenge as I'd not worked on a game like this before, but it was also a dream project for me as a big fan of the genre. It definitely helped to motivate me even more and I was able to grow in confidence as a manager.

  Brighton, GB

  April 2019 - July 2020

  As a Senior Artist at The Chinese Room, I worked on several levels of Little Orpheus. I created assets and compositions, and worked very closely with Level Designers.

  I then moved onto Still Wakes The Deep, where I took charge of setting up the art pipeline for a new game, with a new engine. This led to me being promoted to Lead Environment Artist.
