ABOUT ME
Welcome to my digital realm! I’m Adrian Bautista, a passionate environment artist with roots deeply embedded in the world of video games. My love affair with gaming traces back to my childhood, where I immersed myself in the captivating universe of web minigames and arcade classics installed by my father on our computer. As I navigated through the maze of growing up, my fondness for video games remained steadfast. In addition to exploring the digital landscapes on my computer, my trusty Nintendo DS Lite was a constant companion, further fueling my gaming adventures.
As the crossroads of education approached, I found myself standing at the intersection of two compelling paths – programming and 3D design for video games. The allure of crafting immersive digital worlds proved irresistible, prompting me to embark on a journey into the intricate realm of game design and development. While the intricacies of programming held a certain fascination, it was the allure of shaping 3D spaces that ultimately captured my heart. Join me on this odyssey through pixels and polygons, where a childhood love for gaming has blossomed into a creative exploration of crafting virtual wonders.
