About me
My name is Lara and I'm 21 years old.
After starting my studies at Etic_Algarve, I gained interest in concept art, game design and UI design.
Creativity was always one of my biggest skills which, mixed with my passion for storytelling, enables me to create stories for both games and books.
I plan to specialise in 3D, both within and outside of the gaming industry.
If you are interested in working with me or would like to learn more about my services, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Let's create something amazing together!
