Describe a Typical Work Day:

As a technical artist I create Flash-based animations and effects via timeline and ActionScript. I can be designing motion demos for front-ends and in-game HUD. I also help ensure art assets and designs are integrated into the front end without sacrificing the overall artistic vision or exceeding existing technical limits. I sometimes define and create pipelines for art asset flow with various tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator.

What accomplishment(s) are you most proud of?

Creating front-end animations and effects for successful games like FIFA Street and FIFA Euro 2012. Breaking people’s expectations of what the game’s front-end platform can achieve. There is nothing more rewarding than hearing a “Wow!” after showing an animation effect!
