Current student at Escape Studios being trained in film and gaming pipelines for character and creature creation, specialising in 3D modelling, texturing, look dev and art direction. I am interested in bio-alternativism and exploring the 'what if' scenarios that take place when we collaborate science and fiction. Working with virtual organic systems allows me to indulge in these explorations in an infinite number of ways. I explore character design by considering how the character's unique context has guided it to take shape, and use these factors to create a visual narrative and optimised functionality. Through thoughtful decision making and attention to detail, a character can a paint a story of their mood and backstory before they've said a word or moved a virtual muscle. I have special interests in theoretical physics and philosophy and like to use science to conceptualise and empathy to bring concepts into perspective. After starting on a path training in engineering, I wanted to use this mathematical and analytical approach to do something more creative. This drove me to the tech side of the art world, where I am currently completing a Masters in Character and Creature Design at Escape Studios, learning industry standard softwares for the film and gaming industries. Here I can use the artistic perspective I gained through my education at Central St Martins and pair it with an understanding physics simulations and material knowledge, using the computer as my tool to create beautiful, strange and functional things.Software: ZBrush, Maya, Blender, Houdini, Unreal Engine, r3Dwrap, Adobe Substance Painter, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects
