How does technology influence or expand your creativity towards Game Art Design? “I’m definitely a tech-oriented artist. For me it’s really about building out my creative toolbox. I want to learn anything that allows me to produce and iterate on my artwork faster. I like projects that force me to learn new software to solve creative challenges. Expanding your software knowledge just increases the amount of ways in which you can tackle a creative problem.”
