## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m interested in Creative Strategist or Brand Strategist roles where I can apply my game production and MBA marketing background commercially. I’m also open to Growth or User Acquisition Manager roles and 3D Artist or 3D Art Consultant opportunities.
```

## About

```text
At GlobalStep, I’m building 3D assets for Monopoly GO!’s mini-game ecosystem, including props, key items, pickup tools, containers, backgrounds, and shields. I optimize high-to-low-poly workflows for mobile performance and collaborate on seasonal asset variants.

At Aeos Games, I built assets for an India-themed open-world game using Maya, Substance Painter, and UE 5.7. My work included cultural research and supporting visual identity consistency across environments.

At Leons Digital, I worked on Battlefield 2042 as a Junior 3D Artist, delivering props, environments, and destruction clusters. I was later promoted to 3D Game Artist and selected for an offshore training programme in Shanghai for Battlefield 6, where I coordinated the 3D art production pipeline.

Earlier, at Cybernetics Software’s, I handled full 3D production for the real-time title Moon Nation in Unity3D and produced educational 3D video content for in-house B2B products. My background combines game art production with an MBA in Marketing, and I’m interested in applying that mix to creative strategy, brand strategy, and growth roles.
