Bachelor of Science Degree in 'Computing in Games Development' from DkIT (2013 - 2017) While at college, I mainly focused in the graphic design areas of the course. I have created 3D models, creating textures, menu design and more for video games. During my time at college, I created 3D models using 3DS Max/Autodesk and textures using Photoshop.

 

Working on my MSc in 'Computing in Computer Animation' (2023 - 2025). I used Unreal Engine to create a Medieval themed obstacle course game during my 2nd semester of the first year of the course.

During my final semester, I animated a short film, using Blender, answering the research question 'How do you express a character's thoughts and/or emotions purely through body gestures?', exploring the use of body language alone to tell story to an audience
