Amanda R

👋 Hi there! I'm Amanda! I am a Glasgow-based 3D artist with a passion for bevelled edges and clean topology.

With over 4 years of experience as a 3D artist in the games industry, I most recently had the privilege of working on Words of Power, an educational roguelike RPG on Roblox that has attracted nearly 1 million visits! I contributed 3D assets, characters, animations, visual effects, and environment art that elevated the visual appeal and deepened player immersion in a meaningful, educational context.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me honing my craft, reading fantasy novels (currently diving into The Wheel of Time!), playing video games (currently waiting for build 42 multiplayer for Project Zomboid to go live), or I'm at my local gym, working on myself in more ways than one.
