Hi! My name is Natalie Perez, also known as The Defty Lefty, and I am a freelance creative. As a Game Art student at Ringling College of Art and Design, I am passionate in 3D modeling, concept development (through visuals and narration), graphic design, and character design. My experience in this field includes working with children to help unlock their inner artists at the Young At Art Museum in 2014 and ArtSphere Inc. in 2021, and attending illustration and animation workshops at the art universities of Gobelins, École de L’image; and L’institut Supérieur des Arts Appliqués in Paris, France in 2018. My devotion to this industry materialized the moment I realized I could build a successful career doing what I love, and my mind has run on creativity ever since. Other than Game Art, I love to doodle, draft comics, play ukulele, sing, embroider, and thrift-flip. When I am not working in the studio, I love engaging in deep philosophical conversations, discussing social issues, travelling, and playing with my three dogs and cat named Soup :)
