Projecting Out Past Graduation

Questions:

1. If you could project out past graduation, what is your overall career goal? 

• AAA first, then moving on to an indie team once I've developed more of my skills and learned what its like to work in the big industry.
• I prefer a midsize or small team so I can be closer to my coworkers, but I am not opposed to a large team.
• I am interested in simulation as an option if the first doesn't work out, specifically with in the healthcare or education area. 
• The theme park industry isn't my first choice, but I think it would make for a fun job too.

2. If you could project out into starting your career, what sounds the most appealing to you? 

• Primarily I would like to be a character artist, with environment art as a backup plan or starting path. Starting with environment, I really like nature and would be interested in natural environments. With characters, I like to make stylized models of humans and creatures.

3. What are some of the top companies that you are interested in working for? 

• Iron Galaxy, located in Orlando where I live, is a very inclusive studio with a great environment. I have some friends working at this studio, and I have chatted with some of the employees at an event. I really like their vibes!
• Bungie, located in Seattle, WA, is a large company responsible for making the game Destiny 2. I would enjoy working on space-fantasy models in their style.
• Nintendo, located in Washington and Texas, have the cartoon style I would love to work in. I also grew up playing their games.
