The 21-year-old creates the visual ambiance that define the atmosphere, style, and focus of the solo experience.

The artist finished an internship at the studio prior to securing a position there, and now operates on a part-time basis while finishing his VFX studies at Bournemouth University.

He says he's a dedicated enthusiast of the Battlefield series, and recalls experiencing the earlier title of the franchise at a buddy's place when he was younger.
