P94 NEWSWIRE / INTERACTIVE / MARKET DATA
I am an Art Producer/Creative Director with over six years’ experience in the video games industry. Before BF Games, I worked on some incredible projects for CI GAMES and Techland Publishing, including the production of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, where I was responsible for the art design. In my day to day I deal with building and managing art teams from concept artists, 3D artists, animators and sound engineers, as well as fine-tuning the production to create the best possible results.

Who do you admire in terms of great design, and where do you seek your inspiration?

In movies, for example, I like when the picture and sound is as one or connected - they influence one on another. In paintings, I study the compositions, colours, and techniques to draw inspiration.
Starting from a blank canvas, how and where do you begin the creative process?
