As part of my education at The Guildhall I participated in several large team game development projects. Working in multi-discipline teams and on aggressive schedules, I experienced firsthand the rigors of game development. For my senior team game project I was selected to serve as Art Lead. This game, The Color of Doom, was named an IGF Student Showcase.
