Available to hire
Hi, I’m Hannah Cath Cart. I’m a graduating student at UC Santa Cruz with a BA in Art and Design: Games and Playable Media. I have four years of game design experience from the work I did in school. Over this time I developed skills in production, character design, creating 2D assets, writing scripts, and narrative design, and I enjoy collaborating with teams of varying sizes to bring projects to life.
I use my creativity to enhance the games I work on and to support my teammates. I’m excited to contribute to collaborative projects and to continue growing as an artist and designer.
