WHO IS LINDSEY OWEN?

I am a Games Artist/Generalist, with a strong background in animation, who has spent the last 15 years working in the field of children’s games and education.

I’m well versed in the ways of Adobe programs such as Animate, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and also have some experience with Unity. Having studied BA Design: Animation at university, I have since worked on games, apps, websites, and also a wide range of marketing materials.

Coming from a strong 2D art & animation background, I have recently greatly expanded my knowledge – by studying art at an atelier in France where I received a far deeper insight into the core principles of art, colour and light; by teaching myself Spine to push my existing 2D skills; and also by moving into the realm of 3D using Blender to model and animate for my own games. I founded Yetikatt with a friend so that we could push ourselves creatively and follow our passion to unleash some of our many ideas we’ve had bubbling for some time.

With my background in animation I have always been especially drawn to character work. A great mentor once told me ‘Anyone can create a pretty picture but it takes real skill to create soul’, this has become an underpinning principle in my work, and I have since found some of my best compliments have been on how the characters I’ve created and animated have a sense of personality and vitality. I try to feed this through in everything I do from characters to UI.
