Releveant education
Bachelor's degree Game design and Graphics at Uppsala University
2012-2015

My experience that I have gathered during my studies, I have been for three years working together with a team of students designed and built games. During my studies I helped to develop four games project, where my roles have been Lead artist/Lead designer/ Level artist. My duties have creating a visual style that conveys the message we convey to our games, then communicate the vision to the others in the team to create an experience that fits together. Also worked on creating 3d models/scultures for enviorments, texturing, concept art, communicating ideas to team members trough drawing and sketching. I have also worked in Unreal engine 4 to put together levels with props and assets, added lighing, post processing and adding scripted events to levels. This have done so that I have gained extensive knowledge in graphic design, 2D and 3D, and made me very flexible and can quickly get started with new projects and tasks.
