Title: Junior Artist
Department: Assets
Length of career in the industry: 3 years
First game worked on at Technicolor Games: EA Sports FIFA 23
How did your career begin?
I play lots of games on my PC and PS4. I was playing Assassins Creed Odyssey when it suddenly hit me, how do they make these games and how can I do something similar? So, I did some R&D and found there to be a huge industry out there, and I can in fact, make a career doing what I enjoy.
I was delighted to get into MAAC (Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics), where I learned software’s like Maya, Zbrush and Substance Painter. Before I knew it, I was already taking on freelance work alongside my studies. My course wasn’t even completed when I joined Technicolor Games. Since then, I’ve had the privilege to work on multiple AAA projects and fulfil my dreams.
What has been your most memorable/favourite moment working at Technicolor Games?
When I received my first ever game credit in EA Sports FIFA 23, it was an unreal experience for me.
What advice could you give to someone wanting to join the industry?
Keep working on your skills, and remain close and respectful to your seniors. They are there to help you.
What are you excited about for the future?
I’m excited about all the new projects I’ll work on and grow my skills with. It’s all upwards from here, there is no looking back now.
