About

Who is Helwa?

Hey there! I am a Senior UC Santa Cruz Student majoring in Art & Design: Games + Playable Media. My goal is to create compelling characters and immersive worlds within the entertainment industry!I specialize in Character Design, World-Building, and 3D Modeling. As an artist, I was very 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.At UC Santa Cruz, I’ve collaborated with many teams to hone my skills in conceptual design. Great games, in my opinion, takes players to new worlds and give them an experience that they can connect with. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing Fortnite, Monster Hunter, and Project Diva Mega Mix, and my favorite franchises are Yakuza, Resident Evil, and Devil May Cry.Thanks for stopping by!
