I’m the Senior 2D/3D artist at Glowmade.
Tell us a little about how you ended up making games for a living?
After uni I applied to Lionhead. It was my first application and I got the job. I guess I took it for granted as I was... young and not short of confidence lets say. In retrospect I was incredibly lucky so I feel more stoked today about my first job that I did back then.
