ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Omeed Rasti, a 3D Artist specializing in props and environments for games with over 4 years of professional experience based in Vancouver, Canada.

I am passionate about games and strive to expand my skillset in art and tech. I’m an avid gamer and enjoy many genres including RPGs, strategy, racing, shooters, and platformers; for anything I’m interested in but unable to get to, I watch playthroughs and look through art dumps.

If you have an opening that would suit my expertise, I would be delighted to learn more. Please don't hesitate to arrange a call to discuss any questions or opportunities!
