Experience

  • Concept Artist + Graphic Designer at Unseelie Collective
    Dundee, GB
    July 2021 - February 2023

    - My first set of work with Unseelie was designing character concepts for their game ‘Quantum Quarrel’. going through the complete design process, from initial thumbnails to finished 2D renders.

    - I worked with them on the title ‘Sorry We Have a Policy’ for a game jam, concepting the character and environments, as well as creating all of the various UI elements.

    - I also designed the original logos and social media assets for both ‘Quantum Quarrel’ and ‘Sorry We Have a Policy’, and the companies original name ‘Fairsoul Cooperative’.

  • Freelance Concept Artist at Dragon's Forge Miniatures
    April 2022 - June 2022

    - Worked on a concept art project in collaboration with Dragon’s Forge, designing a series of mockups of TTRPG miniatures, for one of their international clients.

    - This project allowed me to working more independently, as well as giving me experience taking rough concepts from a fellow artist, interpreting them into my own style, and developing them into more refined designs.
