Hi! My name is Samantha Long and I'm a passionate young artist with a love for art, game design, and everything in-between. I've always been drawn to the creative possibilities that emerge when art and interactivity come together, especially in game design, where storytelling, visuals, and player experience all intersect.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Lyon College, and later pursued my passion further by completing an MA in Art and Technology at the University of Oklahoma. Throughout my journey, I’ve explored everything from 2D and 3D animation to game development, and Virtual Reality.
I have hands-on experience with a broad range of creative and technical tools. My skill set includes 3D modeling and animation using Maya, video production with Adobe Premiere and After Effects, and a variety of digital art platforms. I've developed interactive experiences in Unity, and have programming experience in C# and Java. Additionally, I've worked on projects involving Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), allowing me to explore innovative and immersive ways to immerse players in the worlds I create.
Whether I’m bringing a character to life, designing gameplay, or building for emerging platforms, I love the challenge of combining art and technology to tell engaging, interactive stories.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy exploring my work!
