My name is Jared Styles and I'm a Programmer and Game Designer located in Melbourne, Australia. I am passionate about creating Interactive environments and experiences that explore themes of embodiment and reverie.
I create 3D spaces with an emphasis on environmental storytelling, incorporating concepts borrowed from standardised psychological and architectural practices to create effective level designs and experiences. I am Interested in all aspects of the game design process and very much enjoy the degree of creative problem solving that comes along with it such as programming, modelling and narrative design.
I am confident in using Unity, Maya, the Adobe and Substance suites to create engaging works of varying styles. Game design and 3D art are forever evolving mediums that require growth and the adaptation of new skills and techniques which is why I am an ardent practitioner of the craft. I have an enthusiasm to keep learning and adapting new skills into my praxis.
My work has been exhibited online as well as at ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image) and several Artist Run Initiatives around the city of Melbourne.
I welcome the opportunity for new challenges and opportunities to be involved in work that has the ability to create an emotional and visceral response in an as accessible manner as possible.
