CHRISTENSENTAYLER
ENVIRONMENT ARTIST
I originally studied architecture and design technology and I was all set to become a 3d artist for architecture realization projects; however, that all changed when a friend of mine asked if I could create a simple 3D environment for a game he was making. I was hooked from then on. I love environment art and have since taken all the necessary steps to make a career shift. It in no way was an effortless transition as I have had to work my “patootie” off to learn effective pipeline, but I have found that my background in architecture has given me a solid foundation for creating game content. Thanks to excellent mentors, I've made incredible progress.
I feel lucky to live in a time where technology is robust and the opportunities to create are endless. We are just on the cusps of what is possible! I'm looking forward to the future of design and hope to be a part of it.
