Senior UI Artist & Illustrator
Warwickshire, United Kingdom

Summary

My main skills are, UX design, UI art, Illustration and Graphic Design.

I love creating art for games almost as much as I enjoy playing them. Working on AAA projects has been a dream come true, creating awesome games, making friends with like minded developers, learning from those developers and improving my skills.

I’ve been lucky enough to work on massive games such as the BAFTA award winning Forza Horizon series and the F1 series games but I’m not exclusively a racing game developer and always up for new challenges.

The range of games I love to play extend waaay past just racing games and I like to stay up to date with with whatever the new hotness is in the gaming space, but I also have my eye out for those hidden gems that sometime sneak past the public eye.

I love being a UI artist, it scratches that itch I have of problem solving but using my art skills and knowledge of video games to do so. It feels like a very unique job and something I can see myself doing for as long as I can. I’ve been fortunate to see UI evolve over time, it’s not just creating menus and icons, it’s now a core department involved in making sure more people can play games that couldn’t before. I love that this is the new direction, gaming is good for the soul and everyone should be able to enjoy it.

Feel free to contact me about UI , Video games or just to have a chat 😊
