Thomas Evans

Games Design graduate with practical experience across level design, environment design, 3D modelling, animation, concept art and programming. Experienced in developing creative projects through university study and working collaboratively to meet deadlines and project requirements. After graduating I also created a demo for a game called school of change, a personal project I work on in my free time.

Alongside my degree, I have gained several years of professional experience in hospitality and customer service, developing strong teamwork, communication, organisation, time management and problem-solving skills. I am dependable, adaptable and comfortable working both independently and as part of a team. I am now looking to begin my professional career within the games, creative or digital media industry and continue developing my technical and creative skills.
