Name : Sietske Wielsma
Born and raised: Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Current Location: Tokyo , Japan
I like to make a game feel wholesome. I developed a love for collaboration, working together with lighting, audio, texture and props specialists to make compelling scenes that tell their own stories. Working side by side with designers that challenge me has been a huge source of inspiration for me as their requirements open a path of creativity for me. Before my current role as all-around Environment Artist / Set dresser I occupied various positions that let me help with pre-production modeling, sculpting and texturing. While I do not use all these skills on an everyday basis, I will use everything in the toolbox to get a task done efficiently. Outside work you won’t find me behind my PC, living in Japan has been a blast for me. I love the big and small adventures living here gives me. It also motivates me to continue my Japanese studies. When I am not out and about, you can find me huddled with a good book, playing the occasional video game or experimenting in the kitchen.
