Hi, I'm Molly Holmes, a passionate Game Artist specializing in virtual and augmented realities. I've developed my skills through a First Class Honours degree and a recent intensive work-ready bootcamp, working on various projects involving VR, mixed reality, and 3D art. I love combining creativity with technology, working with tools like Unreal Engine and Substance Painter to bring digital worlds to life. Beyond game art, I run my own logo and marketing design business and have experience managing social media content. I enjoy working on everything from detailed 3D environments to eye-catching logos and social media campaigns. When I'm not creating, I love being outdoors as an instructor, sharing my passion for adventure and helping others learn new skills.
