Bio
Brad Fix
I've worked with Theo for 3 years across various projects at Hothead Games. He first joined our team to drive VFX on a mobile FPS and I could tell right away Theo was going to be a valuable addition. He was able to learn the tools and excel in a short amount of time, as well as build great working relationships on the team. Theo sets himself apart as a technical artist by fostering an open dialogue across disciplines. He is able to bridge the gap between artists, designers, and programmers. By effectively communicating progress and encouraging feedback, the final result always exceeds expectations. On the technical side, Theo has also taken the initiative to dive into the engine's scripting language and continues to ask questions and learn. This is fantastic for production as it really empowers artists and himself to experiment without full-time programmer support. He has also taken the initiative to write various tools in script and Python. For example, one tool can walk script and object dependencies to identify unused art resources. These resources can then safely be purged to help optimize the game's package size. Theo has really helped raise the VFX bar on every project he's been a part of. He is an excellent communicator and helps drive collaboration, bringing game quality to the next level.

Theo was a great addition to our art team at Z2 Vancouver. He came in as a contractor, and quickly proved his value both as a competent 3D modeler and as a stellar teammate. I appreciated Theo's work ethic, artistic ability, and his professional presence at work. It made him easy to manage while he delivered great results. I hope to have the chance to work with him again in the future.
