Lead Environment artist

The thing I enjoy most as a lead at Sharkmob is the freedom to structure my team and the work we do and the fact that Management trusts us without forcing any sort of unnecessary procedures or bureaucracies on us.

It's really great to be able to create an environment where the team can thrive and truly focus on what they are best at - creating amazing environment art.”
