Hello There!
Thankyou for stopping by! My name is Katie and I'm a UK based 3D Generalist/Tech artist (and sometimes illustrator) with over 5 years professional experience working in games. A lot of my work is centred around Maya, Blender and in engine software. I am a big lover of all things tech art in Unity, including working in Shuriken (VFX), optimisation, implementation, shaders (nodes and HLSL) and lighting/post processing.
I also have some experience with illustration and working with clients for social media posts and poster designs using Procreate and Photoshop. I specialise in making cozy/casual games as well as drawing detailed isometric environments with oodles of detail and environmental storytelling.
