Hey, my name is Dom, I'm currently living in Leeds, England. My area of expertise is designing and creating 2D and 3D environments for games.

Biography

My name is Dom, I’m a Lead Environment Artist based in the UK. 

Since starting in the Industry 8 years ago, I have been fortunate enough to work on six AAA games and I have just finished leading a Sony PSVR2 game called ‘Synapse’. Some highlights of my career has been working on IP’s such has Sea of Thieves, Red Dead Redemption, Ghostbusters and Horizon Zero Dawn.

I've recently just left my job over at Keywords Studios and I'm currently on the lookout for a new role/ challenge. I'm excited to meet people at THU and connect with many talented artists! :)
