I am a highly motivated and educated professional with a First-Class BA (Hons) degree in Concept Art from Teesside University. My academic background includes project-based studies in drawing fundamentals, narrative art, and green light, supported by rigorous coursework and hands-on project experience. I excel in harnessing creativity by applying theoretical principles and fundamentals to briefs, as demonstrated by my final year project where I created dead skin textures for a zombie apocalypse wedding game. Alongside my artistic skills, I have a substantial professional background in the service industry, where I developed strong skills in hospitality, communication, teamwork, and customer service, including catering to dietary requirements and maintaining standards in high-pressure situations. I am eager to bring my creative skills, attention to detail, and collaborative spirit to a challenging role where I can contribute innovative solutions and satisfy client needs. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development to ensure I am well-prepared to tackle complex challenges and deliver exceptional results.
