Throughout high school and college, I devoted many classroom hours and nearly all of my free time studying video game content production and learning how to create detailed and engaging assets for video games. I believe that my modeling skills will contribute significantly to the creation of the next level of games, and I look forward to expanding my knowledge and experience as an artist in the gaming industry.
