I am writing to express my excited interest in joining your team as an 3D Designer. With a deep passion for creating immersive environments, I have built my career with a drive to contribute towards intriguing assets that support design. I believe from joining your team, I can bring a strong blend of technical ability and creative vision to your projects and feel that this position would be an ideal fit for the next stage in my career. I am citizen of both the United Kingdom and New Zealand, and I am currently living abroad in Australia. From February 2023 to October 2024, I worked full-time as a 3D Artist at Grease Monkey Games in Brunswick, Melbourne, developing the drifting/racing title, Torque Drift 2. This role allowed me to refine my skills in producing realistic real-world assets and props, as well as developing my expertise in environments, lighting, composition, and post-processing across game assets, maps, and external promotional material. Although the position provided many valuable learning opportunities and marked an important phase in my 3D journey, developments within the company encouraged me to seek new opportunities for personal growth and professional development. In my current role as a 3D Artist at Directed Electronics in Tullamarine, I’ve been responsible for producing accurate and polished 3D models of real-world products used across marketing campaigns, e-commerce listings, and social media content. I’ve also collaborated across multiple departments, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with product design, animation, and multiple visual effects workflows such as camera tracking, compositing, and integrating CG elements into existing still images and footage. These experiences have strengthened my eye for detail, lighting, composition, as well as reinforce my ability to adapt to new workflows to solve problems. All skills that I’m eager to apply in a new role where I can continue my dream career in video games. I’m eager to apply my skills towards projects that build incredible worlds for users to experience, alongside a team that’s excited to produce the best experiences for our audience. I’m excited to know more about how I can contribute to and look forward to getting to know more about your team. Thank you for considering my application. I’d love the chance to contribute to your team and grow as an artist surrounded by like-minded individuals. In the meantime, please feel free to view my work at: _Website not available.
