As a 2D Artist specializing in computer graphics, I bring creativity and expertise to the world of mobile game development. With a career spanning from November 2019, I have been involved in creating in-game assets for mobile games and illustrations that enhance the gaming experience.
Currently, I am a 2D Artist at Daily Magic, a subsidiary of Playrix. In this role, I am responsible for creating concept art and in-game assets such as props, environmental objects, and illustrations for the mobile game Homescapes. It brings me great joy to see these concepts come alive within the game.
In addition to my main work, I have taught courses at SkillsUp, sharing my knowledge and passion for the craft.
Prior to this, I worked at Digital Forms, an outsourcing studio, where I had the opportunity to contribute to projects for Playrix, including Homescapes and Wildscapes, where I had experience in creating in-game and marketing illustration as well as isometric in-game elements. I also worked on the concept art and illustration of props and in-game structures for Playkot's Spring Valley. I have also freelanced for various outsourcing studios, including projects for G5.
Proficient in industry-standard software such as Photoshop and Blender I leverage these tools to create high-quality and engaging visuals. In additional to streamlining the process of constructing hard-surface objects in Blender, my experience extends to sculpting in ZBrush, as well as simulating fabric using Marvelous Designer.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I find joy in music, playing the piano and guitar. I also indulge in outdoor activities such as cycling and skateboarding. Of course, drawing is not only my profession but also my beloved hobby.
I am open to exploring various realms of computer graphics art beyond mobile games. I am eager to lend my artistic skills to projects encompassing different genres and mediums, whether it's creating stunning visual effects, character designs, or illustrations for various forms of digital media. I am excited about the endless possibilities of CG art and look forward to collaborating on projects that push the boundaries of creativity and storytelling.
