Internally motivated, self-starter with a strong desire to work within a team and an eagerness to consistently learn and grow.
Understanding of creating high quality, performant assets on a budget.
The ability to thrive in an iterative environment built on giving and receiving constructive & actionable feedback.

Technical skills such as rigging or shader work, or similar experience that allows for heightened problem solving and a deeper understanding of the pipeline and tools.
