My name is Heather Cascioli and I recently graduated from Full Sail University with a Bachelor’s degree in Game Art. Video games have been a big part of my past, present, and definitely will be part of my future. My joy for video games started with the Super Nintendo, specifically Super Mario Kart and Super Bomberman. Those two games had the power to bring my family and I together every night with never ending enjoyment. My passion for video games developed over the years, however the turning point was when I played Dragon Age: Inquisition for the first time. I immediately became engulfed in the world, although the environments are the greatest part of the game. I spent well over a year exploring the environments while putting the quests on the back burner until I finished discovering everything I could. Dragon Age: Inquisition to this day, is still my all time favorite game.
My future with video games will revolve around game art, specifically environment art. Although I do enjoy animation, rigging, prop modeling, and also texturing / painting which I won’t completely rule out.
Aside from video games, I am an avid animal lover. There will (hopefully) never be a time when I do not have animals in my life. I currently have a Jack Russell Terrier, three fat cats, five pet rats, and a lion head bunny.
