Hello! I’m Rosie, an award-winning animator and artist based in Leeds, UK. I bring characters to life in immersive worlds at XR Games as a 3D Animator. I have worked on eight shipped titles and dealt with prominent IP such as Angry Birds, Zombieland, Zombie Army and Starship Troopers. With my 3D generalist knowledge, I bring a lot of skills to the table from rigging, modelling, and taking my assets through the game engine pipeline from start to finish. An anxious 18-year-old me dived headfirst into public speaking to spread the magic of VR to the masses, a challenge that helped make me the confident and enthusiastic person I am today. I am extremely driven, hardworking, always looking for exciting challenges, collaborations and opportunities to improve.
