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 graph, material set up and post processing. I can sometimes produce and have some experience with asset management and supporting other 3D artists with pipelines and setting up in Unity.
Beyond 3D I have dabbled in illustration and occasionally do client work making social media posts and poster designs using Procreate and Photoshop. I specialise in drawing detailed isometric environments with oodles of detail and environmental storytelling.
