Oliver Butt

Concept Artist

St Johns, Woking,United Kingdom

Summary

Hi! My name is Ollie. I'm a graduate concept artist from Staffordshire Univeristy. I've been drawn towards creative expression since I was young, studying some form of art subject at every stage in my education. I believe that a career in concept art is the right thing for me because I'm a passionate and driven creator that loves to iterate and innovate. I'm also able to fit into a team or department structure - reagardless of whether I'm given my own spotlight or i'm playing a smaller role in a large operation. This is something that i've practiced both in collaborative modules at university and in part time work, as part of a capable smaller retail team, and as a fast food worker during the height of demand in the pandemic. Thank you for taking the time to consider me as a candidate.
