Elahe Salmanpour

I am a Game Design and Development graduate specializing in 3D Environment Art and Character Design. Having recently completed my Associate degree, I combine my academic foundation in game development with years of prior experience in visual arts and 2D graphic design to build immersive digital worlds and high-quality 3D assets.

My technical toolkit features industry-standard software including Autodesk Maya, Blender, ZBrush, and Adobe Substance 3D Painter. I thrive on blending creative concept artistry with precise 3D modeling pipelines to bring compelling spaces and characters to life.

Passionate about continuous growth and visual storytelling, I am eager to collaborate with creative teams and contribute to professional, forward-thinking game development environments.
