Hi, I’m Samuel Simpson. I recently graduated with First Class Honours in Computer Arts from Abertay University and was a runner-up in DARE 2025. I’m seeking a role that aligns with my focus on concept art. I’m confident in a wide range of design, including characters, environments, creatures and props, and I have valuable experience working in team environments. I’ve collaborated on five team game projects and worked on ADORATE with Fishbowl Studio as part of DARE Academy 2025, contributing concept art and 2D visuals; we are continuing collaboration toward a Steam release.
