Meet Josh Whitkin

Lecturer, Games Art & Design

"As a previous art director and veteran of the computer game industry, my least favourite part of my job is declining unqualified job applicants.

That’s why I am excited by having the opportunity to help students cut through the hype that surrounds the game industry and help them learn what’s important.

I love sharing the excitement as students literally see their dream worlds for the first time, as they create them in 3D graphics. I love watching graduates feel what I felt in my first game job: “I’m getting paid to make games?! Awesome!”

I dare to dream that some of my students will change the world, bringing innovation our industry so desparately needs. I hope to soon be proudly playing their games, and even cheering for them at international award ceremonies."
