Biography

Hiya! I'm Sam Leeke and I am currently a Technical Artist at Captured Dimensions in Frisco, Texas and a recent graduate from The University of Texas at Dallas. My current passions outside of work are commissions and volunteering with the Animation Guild club at ATEC at UTD. Even as an alumnus I am still working to help educate students and network with them so that they have a better understanding of the industry and how to tailor themselves for their dream jobs. Some of my hobbies include learning new 3D packages like Blender, Houdini, and Cinema 4D and participating in Game Jams with the Dallas Society of Play.
