Art Director for Mobile Games

About

I’m Art Director with strong 3D, UI/UX abilities and wide technical background.

My strengths are:
3D modelling and texturing
Ability to take responsibility and give vision to the whole project
Special attention and priority to player experience
Shader programming and ability to create various VFX for UI/3D/2D
Good knowledge of different rendering pipelines, from Mobile to PC
Ability to easily communicate with various disciplines

Experience

My strongest sides are digital art skills like lightning, modelling and texturing which is visible in my portfolio. In my work, I use a variety of programs like: Modo, 3Ds Max, Substance Painter/Designer, Unity, Photoshop, Zbrush, Marvelous Designer, Octane and Arnold Render.

I have over 7 years of experience in game development doing small and medium-sized games (10+ released games). I was working on games for PC and Mobile platforms.
I have good technical knowledge of the whole game development process.

I have experience creating UI design for multiple game projects including animation, VFX and UI flows.

In my private time I experiment combining different unconventional F2P mechanics, RPG elements and social mechanics to hopefully create new type of Social RPG games for people who want to experience adventure on mobile devices. My really good understanding of F2P game design allows me to experiment with new ideas of how to make even better games for players.

I have few years of experience in C# programming. This includes programming gameplay, UI functionality, and various tools for Unity Engine. I also have experience working with custom engines. In addition, I have knowledge of C++ from porting various graphical effects to Unity (SSAO, Depth of Field etc.) and creating custom shaders for different projects.
