Experience

  • Lead Artist at Catness Game Studios
    March 2015 - July 2017

    Co-Founder, Lead Artist. I had the pleasure to lead a small team of under 10 artists. I designed the entire visual foundation of the game. From characters and environments to UI, marketing assets, and narrative elements.

    I led the full 3D character pipeline: sculpting, retopology, UV unwrapping and texturing. I Led both 2D and 3D teams, assisting them with active feedback and asset revisions. Ensured smooth communication channels.
