I joined Escape Studios with very little knowledge of creating game assets. Thanks to the guidance and direction I received from the tutors, I learnt all of the necessary skills to land my dream job in the industry.
Now, I am proud to say that I have worked on Fortnite, as well as some other great titles thanks to the amazing opportunities I have had whilst at Airship Interactive and the invaluable experience from my time at Escape.
Some of my fondest memories are from the years I attended here, and I will always cherish the unforgettable friendships and connections I made with people along the way.

My first job after Escape was with Bild Studios, where I did virtual production. After I worked with them for five months, I joined a start up company working on a small open world game.
After receiving feedback from various connections I made at Escape and the tutors, I was able to improve my portfolio to then get an offer from two different studios. One from Bulkhead and one from Ubisoft. Both required art tests. It was my experience and feedback from the tutors I maintained connections with over the years that helped me throughout the interview stages.

Studying at Escape Studios helped me develop both the hard and soft skills essential for working in the creative industries. Most importantly, it taught me how to collaborate effectively on team projects and how to confidently apply and develop my artistic skill set in a professional environment.
Stay curious and experiment as much as possible with different tools. Our industry is constantly evolving, and a degree is the perfect time to explore new areas.
For me, that was lighting, I discovered it by chance, fell in love with it, and I’ ve been working as a lighting artist ever since.
