Natural Motion Games – Began Contracting for Natural Motion Games making two tracks for CSR2 Europe Series; Nurburgring and Matera. Was hired full time as Senior Environment Artist where I helped create the hero track environments and assets, as well as other environments. Some environments were created in collaboration with other departments to meet their specific needs. Other tasks included whiteboxing assets and creating detailed briefs for Outsource teams, followed by feedback and implementation.  As a senior member of the team I also helped mentor junior members, offered feedback on work and insights/techniques from my experience.
