Bio
👾Kyle C.
I met Kirk through my position as Art Director at Blockade Games. Kirk worked with us to develop early visualisations of the game's User Interface as well as supporting the world-building effort with the creation of countless identities for syndicate factions as well as the dubious arms dealers in a gritty cyberpunk metropolis. Kirk was incredibly easy to work with and designs were usually met over a handful of iterations with minimal explanation necessary. I wish Kirk and business partner Michael the greatest successes in current and future endeavours and hope we get the opportunity to work with one another once again in the future.
