I am a freelancer with an expertise in concept design, game asset creation and digital marketing content creation! Working at StudioPilled and contracting with game projects has landed me the necessary experience for understanding creative production pipelines.
I am looking to work with all kinds of opportunities in the gaming and creative industries, be it project-based, interim or pro-bono – assisting teams whether it be working in a studio or outsourcing assets remotely.
My qualities revolve around versatility and adaptability, collaborating on tasks with a team through the approach of an industrious, intuitive and pragmatic mindset. Simultaneously, I can work independently with little or no oversight as I maintain a strong work ethic. My previous and continuing experience in a fast-paced marketing environment has also equipped me with vital transferrable skills.
