What was your inspiration for pursuing a career in Game Art?
My interest in video games peaked from the "Call of Duty" series and the "GTA" (Grand Theft Auto) series. "Call of Duty" drew me in with its intense action, realistic graphics, and strategic gameplay. I loved the thrill of completing missions and competing in multiplayer modes.
On the other hand, the "GTA" series captivated me with its open-world design, allowing me to explore, engage in various activities, and follow intriguing storylines. The freedom to do almost anything in the game made it incredibly engaging. Both series showcased the best of video gaming, combining exciting gameplay with compelling stories, which made me passionate about video games.
What hobbies do you have?
From basketball, I've learned teamwork, discipline, and how to stay physically fit. Playing on a team taught me the importance of working together and supporting each other to achieve a common goal. Video games have sharpened my problem-solving abilities and hand-eye coordination. They also taught me strategic thinking and how to stay focused under pressure. Traveling has broadened my perspective and improved my adaptability. Experiencing different cultures has enhanced my communication skills and made me more open-minded. Bartending has improved my customer service skills and my ability to multitask. It also taught me how to stay calm and efficient in a fast-paced environment. Each of these activities has contributed to my personal growth in unique ways
