Artwork
I have always enjoyed creating art and continue to pursue it as a hobby outside of work. Frequently experimenting with art mediums has improved my creativity, patience, and determination to see projects out to completion.
Completing personal projects has further improved my work skillset. For example, to create graphic artworks I learnt how to use Adobe Illustrator - which has since enabled me to create original graphics and improve the professionalism of reports in University and employment.

Concept Art
I participated in NextGen Showcase, a 10-month-long educational program in which I worked to create a themed attraction from blue sky concepts to schematics and detailed design. I took a concept artist role in the project, where I worked with a global team in a simulated creative studio environment.
I participated in this course in my own time from July 2023 - April 2024 whilst in full time employment. This resulted in improved time management and collaboration skills, and enabled me to try digital renders of concept sketches that could be presented professionally.
