I'm an aspiring 3D artist based in London, UK, holding a degree in 3D Games Art, specialising in creating 3D games environment for the current generation consoles. I'm able to create environments from concepts as well as conceptualise them myself from other inspirational material and forming my own concepts.
I am well versed in various software but I am always eager to undergo further training in other programs and enhance my personal and professional development in this field of work. I have a very keen interest in art of all forms and always on the look for inspiration for my next personal projects.

Education and Qualifications
BA Hons - 3D Games Art, University of Hertfordshire - 2:1 (2010 - 2013)
The final project for this course consisted of the creation of a video game trailer, captured and created to be optimum in a real time games engine. Our group, which consisted of myself and another student, went through the design stages of conceptualising the design of the trailer and fleshing out the idea with a back story, down to converting our idea into a 3D environment and creating the trailer with sounds and title sequences, all the while following deadlines and having weeklies.
