Hi there!

My name is Michael. I am running Bolt Create as my own personal platform to promote my creative projects and brand.
I am a Digital Designer with a formal qualification in Animation. A bit of a mixed bag in terms of skills, I work with everything digital but have begun specializing in a mix between 3D art and advertising.

​

A not so brief bit of my background; ever since I was little I loved playing games. Video games, sports games, card games, board games, you name it. The most accessible of all of these, which in turn had the biggest effect on me, was video games.
Throughout my lifetime playing video games has been an ongoing hobby of mine that has led me to create some amazing friends and connect with people I never would have otherwise. Video games have helped me learn about the world in so many different ways and have taught me valuable skills time and time again.

 

This passion for playing games led me to study a bachelor of Animation (with a major in VFX & world building). While studying I took an immediate liking to 3D. I loved working with computers and have a very technical mind, so being able to create artwork in a technical space suited me to the core. Part way through my studies I was offered an opportunity to work with a friend on a large freelance project to get some real world experience. This was extremely valuable and made me not only learn a lot about working as a Graphic Designer, but as a freelancer too. 

 

After the freelance work died down I started looking for full time work and found myself in a creative generalist role at a kitchen retailer. Given my very diverse skill set I fit right in, working on graphic design projects one day and 3D projects the next, even with a bit of marketing on the side!

 

And now here I am. A 3D Artist & Graphic Designer with a passion for games and advertising.
