My name is Jonny Swales, and I’ve been working in the games industry professionally for the past 7 years. I thrive in small communicative teams where I get to explore new workflows and skillsets. I have a passion for learning new techniques and crafts outside of my comfort zone in order to become a better collaborator to my peers.
