As an Artist and Game Designer, I'm passionate about expressing my creativity and storytelling through games. Including leaving a lasting impression to players through memorable visual identities.— Helwa Halloum

I’m Helwa — I've been an Artist for as long as I can remember and have been practicing making games for over 2 years, based in the beautiful state of California
I am a recent graduate from UC Santa Cruz, majored in Art & Design: Games and Playable Media. My goal is to create compelling characters and immersive worlds within the entertainment industry!With a keen eye for design and a strategic mindset, I specialize in Game Development, World-Building, Character Design, and 3D Modeling. As an artist, I was greatly influenced by the Altus titles Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, as well as the art of Shin-ichi Sakamoto, creator of Innocent and The Climber.During my time at UC Santa Cruz, I’ve collaborated with many teams to hone my skills in game development. In my opinion, great games take players to new worlds and give them an experience that they can connect with. Some of my favorite games to play are Fortnite, Monster Hunter, and Project Diva Mega Mix, and my favorite franchises are Ryu Ga Gotoku, Resident Evil, and Devil May Cry.Thanks for stopping by!
