Would ideally expect at least SGD3000 due to my education in animation, art theory, and character design, with particular emphasis on 2D art and animation.
I am confident drawing traditionally and sketch every day, but also have experience using digital programs such as Photoshop CS4, CS5, and CS6, TVPaint 10.5 Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premier Pro, Maya, and ZBRush. I am happy to learn new techniques and adapt to different styles, and have had experience in the industry working for Ubisoft, the game company behind such successes as Assassin’s Creed.
I am passionate about games from RPGs such as The Witcher and Assassin’s Creed, FPS such as the Mass Effect trilogy, but with special emphasis on MMORPGs. I have played over six different MMOs including Ryzom, Everquest II, Age of Conan, Aion, Star Wars: The Old Republic LASALLE College

Statement
Art has been my passion since I was young, and since I could hold a pencil I have striven to put my ideas to paper. I am always attempting to better myself not just technically, but also in my storytelling abilities, and have branched from still images to comics to animation. Studying at LASALLE has honed not only my technical skills, but encouraged me to challenge myself, pushing myself in project development as well as management and organization skills. I have been introduced to experimental media such as claymation, whiteboard animation, and paper-flipping, and have developed the skills to work both alongside peers as well as individually. I am always keen to learn more and have become confident not just in my skills as an artist, but as an effective team-player and leader. I am passionate about my career, and am always willing to adapt to new environments and learn new techniques. I have lived in five countries and am internationally mobile; I am happy to relocate in order to pursue challenging opportunities.
