ABOUT ME
Heya! My name is Ryan, I am 44 years old, I live in Washington State and I've been an Environment Artist in the videogame industry for over 20 years. Since 2004 on the original Xbox, I have worked on multiple games across different game consoles and art disciplines. My passion and joy is working on natural and fantasy game environments. I have been an Art lead on multiple projects and love building an efficient and effective team.
I have a strong ability to quickly and creatively visualize an environment from beginning grayblock to a fully completed and thought-out world. I am well disciplined in leading, multitasking, efficient organizing, and polishing the levels I work on. I have worked on a wide range of art styles from realistic to stylized.
