Summary

Hey! \o/

My names Gavin Bird, and I'm a Senior User Interface Artist/Graphic Designer in the video game industry, featured on Develops 30 under 30 list. I have worked for companies such as Crytek, Sony (GUERRILLA), Full Fat Productions, Cloud Imperium games, Ubisoft Montreal, Toronto, and now at Skybox Labs. Apart from that, I'm a pretty laid back individual who enjoys my video gaming, chilling out, creating cool art and being a general nerd.
