Hi! I’m Morgan and I am a 3D Environment Artist and often UI designer by chance. I’m a Senior IMGD student at WPI and just transferred here from Becker College (R.I.P.). I’m from Central New Jersey and currently living in Worcester where I’ll most likely stay for a bit after I graduate this Spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art has always been a passion of mine, but I didn’t take it seriously as a career path until very late in high school. I have found that 3D modeling and texturing is something I really enjoy and I’m hoping to start my career in the game industry doing that. I grew up doodling in sketchbooks and painting for fun before I discovered digital art. I have a lot of experience with digital art in many forms from 3D modeling, texturing, sculpting to 2D illustration, UI design, and so on. I have experience in programs such as Blender, Substance Painter and Designer, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects, Procreate, Unity and Unreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been on multiple game projects in the last three or so years. I was a part of a team in my Sophomore year as 3D and 2D artist that produced a top-down arcade shooter called Beat The Machine<\/em>. I created multiple 3D enemy assets, all the UI and promotional material. I got the opportunity to showcase our game at PAX East 2020 and we launched on Steam the following summer. I also worked on a 3D steampunk tower defense titled Factotum<\/em> in my Junior year where I created all tower assets and UI. I am looking to hopefully improve my 3D art skills, particularly in the more technical aspects like UV unwrapping and remeshing. I also hope to improve my skills in engines like Unity and Unreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have most of my work on my website including personal projects and the different game projects I worked on. I am always looking to grow and improve and build my portfolio to hopefully impress an employer in the very near future.
