Well met, traveler!
I am Malachi, a student Environment Artist studying Digital Communication Arts at Oregon State University.
Since I was a kid, I've had a love for creative media, whether it be comic books, TV, music, or video games.
Video games are a uniquely special art form to me; they blend so many different art mediums into a cohesive piece that you experience through interactivity. Ever since I first played Minecraft as a kid, games have inspired my creativity and shaped the way I see the world.
This started a drive to create. I loved to make things that could bring joy to others. Beginning with editing my own YouTube videos, those skills led me to internships in video editing and communications, and one of my current jobs as a Digital Communications Specialist at SEEOSU.
I continue to create through my communications role with SEEOSU, as an Environment & Tech Artist on ASGC's Project Atlantis, and personal game Environment Art projects.
My goal is to become an Environment Artist in the game industry, helping create worlds that immerse players and inspire a sense of wonder. I hope to build experiences that can impact and help others the same way games have impacted and helped me, and make the world just a little bit better for someone else out there.
