SENIOR 3D ENVIRONMENT ARTIST

Career History

Frontier.png

FRONTIER DEVELOPMENTS (CAMBRIDGE, UK)

May 2010 - Present

Frontier is a wonderful place to work and I've enjoyed a wide range of opportunities here. I am best known for my problem solving skills, my self-reliant, pro-active approach and high level of communication skills. (Prominently through the use of documentation and cross-discipline interactions.)

REBELLION (DERBY, UK)

2008 - 2010

This was my first Studio job and one I thoroughly enjoyed with a team of about 40 fantastic peers. I learnt the ropes of game art development on Shellshock 2 and Rogue Warrior before the studio closed it's doors at the beginning of 2010.

PREVIOUS WORK

1999 - 2008

I have a wide breadth of previous job experience ranging from call centres, retail, pubs, sports stadiums waitressing and bar work (lots of fun!) I spent 2 years as a Pool Life Guard in a hotel and was also a Trainee Scuba Diving Instructor, once upon a time. I like to think that these experiences helped to develop my work ethos and that the variety of skills gained have supported my progression into becoming a well rounded, pro-active and forward thinking team player.
