Biography
Hello! My name is Lara, and I’m 22 years old. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Arts, with a specialisation in Game Design, awarded through Teesside University. I also studied Video Games at ETIC Algarve, where I developed my skills and gained experience in 3D modelling, game design, UI design and Concept art.
My interest in 3D art began through my love of video games. As I grew older, I became curious about how the games I enjoyed were created and started exploring the different areas of the industry. This led me to discover 3D modelling.
During my studies, I had the opportunity to develop my skills in 3D modelling and explore different aspects of game development. As I continued learning, I realised that 3D modelling was the area I enjoyed most and wanted to pursue as a career.
My dream is to work as a 3D artist, both within and beyond the games industry.
