  • Experienced Senior Environment Concept artist, with experience contributing to AAA titles
  • Strong understanding of art fundamentals, multiple art styles, anatomy, color theory, and lighting
  • Experience in world-building with wide variety and broad appeal
  • Understanding of what makes strong key art, and how to break key art down to digestible work for 3D modelers needing to retain metric and gameplay goals
  • Understanding of Unreal Engine, with the ability to problem solve alongside an Environment Artist
  • Utilization of 3D packages to help quickly iterate on work
  • A passion for game development and the ability to both inspire and execute
