Hi there! I'm Watkin, and I have a master's and bachelor's degree in game design. I am an animator, video editor, 3D artist, and a game designer. I'm constantly thinking of new ideas to bring to life with animation, and worlds to craft in games, and I hope to one day put my skills to use within the game industry.
