Game Art Program Student Review
Lena Piech
AFTER GRADUATING FROM VERTEX:
Environment Artist at Playground Games
"When I enrolled for the Game Art Program I knew nothing about the industry (I wouldn’t have even considered myself a gamer or anything like that. I literally knew nothing. The Witcher is possibly the only game I had played from start to finish).
I got a job as a 3D Environment Artist at one of the Xbox studios sometime after Term II of the program. I never got to finish Term III because I didn’t need to since I had already gotten a job. After Term II I left the program and started my new job!"
