Jenna Smith

Contributed marketing illustrations and concept art to a volunteer-based indie game project. Reported to the art director and created projects from start to finish using Figma, moving from thumbnails/early iterations through sketch to final render to meet deadlines. Completed assigned tasks in the studio’s proprietary task management system (Bifrost). Currently working toward shipping a second game to Steam titled “Ash of Nine.”

Contributed character work, prop design, environment design, and other 2D elements for volunteer-based indie game projects. Collaborated with the art team through video meetings and asset planning from rough sketch phases to refined deliverables. Aided other artists with paint-overs and tweaks and completed assigned tasks using Google Excel. Currently on track to ship a second game to Steam titled “Tippy’s Café.”

Assisted with overseeing appointments and student-led projects in the KSU Makerspace Lab. Helped students use 3D printers and modeling software (e.g., Nomad Sculpt, Blender), laser-cutters, inkjet printers, and Adobe Photoshop by demonstrating standard procedures and shortcuts, troubleshooting issues, and maintaining clean and functional machinery. Increased students’ familiarity with industry-standard tools and software by demonstrating workflows rather than only explaining them.
