Summary
I’m a hardworking and creative Games Art graduate with a strong interest in 3D modelling, texturing, and environment art. During my time at Staffordshire University I developed experience using software such as Blender, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, Photoshop, and Unreal Engine 5 to create game-ready assets and environments. I enjoy learning new techniques, improving my skills through feedback and practice, and challenging myself creatively through personal and university projects. I’m reliable, approachable, and able to work well both independently and as part of a team, with a good understanding of industry workflows and professional standards within game art development.

Work history
Sales Assistant
Bookers Wholesale
2022.01 - 2023.01
- I played a key role as a cashier, where I enhanced my skills in till operations and money handling. As a trusted member of the team, I efficiently processed transactions, ensuring accuracy and attention to detail while handling large amounts of money. Beyond my responsibilities at the register, I actively engaged in building friendly connection with our regular customers. I took the initiative to strike up conversations, creating a welcoming atmosphere and establishing a sense of familiarity. Additionally, I took on the responsibility of answering phone calls and managing reception duties, demonstrating my adaptability and excellent communication skills. My time at Bookers Wholesale equipped me with a diverse skill set, enabling me to thrive in a fast-paced retail environment while providing exceptional customer service.
Kitchen Assistant
Toby Carvery
- Every Sunday I worked 8:30 hours in the kitchen of Toby Carvery, that would include washing up, help preparing food if was in on Saturday, help cook food and many other things. While in this roll I leant many skills, I can carry across jobs. Skills like being an excellent team player, quick to learn and basic cooking skills.
Barista
Shakeaway Shakette
Trowbridge
2021.05 - 2021.07
- I worked at Trowbridge Shakeaway from May until July, working up to four days a week for shifts that would usually be seven hours. While working at Shakeaway I was able to carry across skills I had learnt from my time working at Currys PC World and apply them to a new environment. This included constant cleaning, stock control and managing the till and shop floor independently. I was faced with many stressful situations, but coming from the challenge of undertaking a new job role as a barista, however with the support of my team, my dedication and leadership abilities I was always able to overcome them. For example, at our busiest times I would have to serve customers, prepare drinks whilst also dealing with the pressure of a queue alone. I was able to control these situations and the skills I have learnt from working at Shakeaway would be very beneficial in my future careers.
