  • May 2016 - Dec 2016

  During my time at Exient as a junior UI artist, I worked within an agile development live ops team using Kanban. I supported the servicing of Angry Birds GO! and Angry Birds Transformers. I used SWOT and competitive analysis to design intuitive wire frames. I worked closely with designers and programmers to implement new features that required new UI elements and screens. I developed new art styles for bespoke features to fit into the existing game and I also reworked existing screens. As well as creating the UI art I used XML to build the screens and created animations and particle effects. During my time at Exient I improved my skills as an artist and I worked closely with the art director and UX director to develop an in depth knowledge of effective approaches to UI and VFX for fun F2P UX with better retention.

• Game Design Intern (Mitochondrial Biology Unit)

  • Sep 2013 - Mar 2014

  Project: Designing entertaining video games for the Cambridge Science Festival 2014 to help teach Mitochondrial Science. Role: During this internship I developed a good grounding and working knowledge in several key areas such as game design, level design, character design, testing, and developing efficient applications to run on multiple devices. The job has demanded that I work independently (although I equally enjoy working in a team), be self-motivated and manage my time within the projects delivery date. Experience: The Science Festival was a big success and the games were very popular. I was there on the day to help out, which was a thrilling experience, seeing hundreds of children and adults enjoying my games. I helped to set up and close down the event as well as helping to explain the relation between the true science behind the games, when people needed a little extra, or forgot to read the background information entirely in their haste to play and enjoy these games.
