Leon Raza

Game artist and animator with experience across both 2D and 3D production, from initial concept through to engine ready assets.

Background covers character animation, pixel art, environment design, and UI/UX across live client titles. Graduated with an MA in Game Art & Design from the University of Hertfordshire and have shipped work under real production deadlines. Comfortable working closely with developers and iterating quickly when things need to change.
