Kieran Stelmaszuk

Kieran is a 34-year-old MA graduate in Game Art and Animation. He is an academic person, valuing the persistent pursuit of knowledge and self-betterment, and as a creative, he finds himself overflowing with ideas, concepts, and enjoy being able to share this with others and inspire creativity in turn. This aside, he is a proud linguist and take pride in his quick grasp of languages and grammatical accuracy. Kieran describes himself as friendly, honest, approachable, empathetic, trustworthy, and above all else, works hard in whatever he does, believing that it is the best way to be.

Kieran has particular interests in art of all styles, and where it comes to games and designing, he finds horror, sci-fi, or fantasy to be his genre go-to. He enjoys creating atmospheric environments and adding VFX in his 3D modelling pursuits as he believes immersion is one of the strongest assets in games and animations.

In his spare time, apart from gaming, Kieran enjoys going for walks, staying active, socialising with friends, reading, and watching films or series that take my interest. He is a big foodie, enjoying both the eating and creating, and describes himself as a dab hand at baking too, so enjoys spending time in the kitchen, mostly when he has the opportunity to cook, or bake for guests.

Kieran grew up in South Africa, however is British born and returned back in 2012. Since then, he has worked in hospitality and made the change to study for a more enjoyable and stable career whether it is in the gaming industry, animation, or educating others – all three he is very passionate about and allows him to grow as a person both intellectually and in the working field. Furthermore, he strives to be the best in whatever he sets his mind to, and hope that this inspires others to do much the same.
