Available to hire
I’m Brad Smallwood, a friendly, passionate and inquisitive 3D artist with substantial technical experience. I enjoy delivering immersive digital experiences, from photoreal CGI and VR to character and prop design, and I work across the full pipeline—from modeling and texturing through to animation and shading.
Based in Scotland, I thrive in small teams and enjoy collaborating across disciplines. Outside of work, I love climbing, film, video games, music and fitness. I’m a lifelong Formula 1 fan, and I’m also a keen snowboarder and kite surfer.
