Hi, I’m Dylan Swann, a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Dallas with a Bachelor of Arts in Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication. I’ve built a strong foundation in digital media, design, and user experience, and I’m excited to apply these skills to interactive media and the video game industry. During my studies I completed 3D art projects focused on environment setup, lighting, texturing, and animation. I also gained customer-service and teamwork experience at Starbucks, where I learned to work effectively in fast-paced environments. I’m passionate about user-centered, innovative experiences and am eager to contribute creatively and collaboratively to a game or media project.
