Summary
Hi! My name's Jayson, thanks for stopping by! Since you're here, I might as well tell you a bit about myself:
I started my journey in Blender and Unity back in 2012 as a hobbyist, and then went on to pursue a degree at New England Institute of Technology for Game Design. During my time there, I practiced collaborating with small teams and adopted an agile workflow.
Since then, I've been involved with a few small studios where my task-management skills and generalist mentality have provided me with ample opportunity to balance project scope with realistic artistic vision and execution. As a member of those teams, I have consistently sought to improve all of our standards with prompt and deliberate feedback, encouraging more clear and direct communication whenever possible.
It is my goal to help projects be realized, and for desirable growth for everyone involved. Afterall, as artists, there's always something new to learn.
