Summary
My foundations are in 2D art, but I am a growing 2D technical artist, more
specifically in using animation, motion and effects to make cool/expressive
interactive game elements. While I am working on my 2D technical animation
skills in general, I plan on focusing more on a UI direction in the future.
I believe people underestimate the role of expressive motion and effects in UI animation, so am seeing if I can fill this niche in the future! As well as honing my skills in effects/sdfs and procedural animation as a focus.

- Game artist generalist at QCF DesignZAFebruary 2024 - January 2025
I first started at QCF at an intern level where I had the chance to try out
different roles such as tech artist/game artist/programmer. I spent that time
experimenting with, among other things, 2D/procedural art, particles and
shader effects for the first time, which greatly stirred my interest in tech art.I then transitioned to full time and helped create the art for QCF’s
gamescom pitching. In this time, I created illustrations and concept art
under guidance for the pitch. This gave me a chance to improve my skills in
digital art concerning lighting and colour as well.After that, time was spent creating 2D game assets and visual effects for
internal game jams.
