Hi, I'm Darien! I'm a creative and hardworking individual who always pushes myself to do my best. I enjoy collaborating with others to achieve great results and love designing characters, objects, and environments, especially in the gaming world. I'm currently studying Game Art and Animation at the University of Advancing Technology, and I have experience working in retail and customer service roles that have helped me build strong communication skills. Outside of school, I've led my high school Esports team where I focused on teamwork and strategy and worked on logo design projects that blend 2D and 3D artwork. I'm passionate about growing my creative skills and contributing to projects that combine art with technology.
