Summary
Hi! I am Ricarda, a freshly graduated media designer with a focus on games based in Germany.
I started creating digital 2D character art at age 15. After a few years of doing commission work I shifted my focus towards the gaming space. My studies at HS Hannover allowed me to expand my skills in 3D, game development, sound design and animation. These new skills have helped me gain a deeper understanding of game creation pipelines, which in turn has allowed me to create better concept/promo art, textures, models and tools.
Through my Bachelor’s project I have also become increasingly interested in tech art, as creating and implementing pleasing game art while keeping assets optimized and creation pipelines efficient was a necessary and rewarding process.
