I’m Adam, over the past few years I have worked as a Designer and Artist! I graduated from the University of Southampton in 2020, and came out with a first-class (Hons) degree in Games Design and Art. When I joined Southampton, my knowledge of the gaming industry was limited; I joined in the hope of developing skills as a 2D artist, but during my studies I was introduced to aspects of the industry that I never previously considered or knew existed. It was at university that I discovered my passion as a 3D Artist and Game Designer. However, in recent years I have been fortune enough to work as a UX and UI Designer, which has been a more recent focus of mine.

I’m currently working at Nucleolus, an indie games company founded in 2020, formed by university lecturers and graduates. Due to the nature of small indie companies, my jobs role isn’t always straight forward. With a small team we all work on multiple aspects of the game or app that we are producing. As a result, I’ve worked pleasure to work as an Artist, UX Designer, Gameplay Designer, Animator, etc. I have also been requested to work with teaching fellows at The University of Southampton, which has led to collaborations of games, as well as the publication of research papers.

This year I have enrolled in a Diploma in UX Design, and I am currently working on this in my free time. A large majority of my work is based on self-taught knowledge or techniques taught at University. However, after being so intrigued by UX and UI I decided to take that leap and develop my skills with further education.
