Neil Kaminski
Art Director I Games
Guildford, United Kingdom

Summary

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with some fantastic teams — from indie developers to major players like EA/Criterion and Codemasters. I’ve contributed to everything from chart-topping AAA titles to mobile apps, across PC, console, and handheld platforms.

I’ve dipped into just about every corner of 2D and 3D game art, and taken on leadership roles along the way — whether that’s guiding a small prototype team crammed into one room, or managing large, multi-site art teams spread across time zones. I’ve also been hands-on with recruitment, mentoring, and helping artists grow into their own.

I’m always looking to sharpen my tools — staying up to speed with the latest tech and workflows not just keeps things interesting, it makes me better at what I do and how I work with others.
