SUMMARY:

My name is Sarah Bergh and I am a working UI Artist with 7 years’ experience working in the entertainment industry.  I specialize in graphic/2D design, art and animation. I’m passionate about creating concepts and being a part of new and exciting ventures.  


EDUCATION:


Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Production/Animation earned at Digipen Institute of Technology with three additional years of college at Western Washington University, majoring in Design


EXPERIENCE:

UI Artist (contract) (April 2014 - Nov 2014)
Crystal Dynamics- Redwood City, CA
I am worked on Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris as that team’s UI artist. It was a great mixture of painting and more technical work that I get to engage in, and work long hours but use my time efficiently. I am looking mainly because my contract is only 3 months and I would love to find something more permanent in WA.

UI Artist (September 2012 - February 2014)
Airtight Games - Redmond, WA
I made UI art for "Murdered: Soul Suspect" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_2TaGrEB6M ), creating menus, animations, layouts, effects, and custom fonts in Flash, Photoshop, Fontlab and Adobe Aftereffects.  I collaborated closely with our team’s UI programmer to get the menus and UI functioning with fast iterations. In addition to UI work, I also made some creature concepts for an unannounced project.

UI Artist (March 2012 - August 2012)
Microsoft (contracted through MAQ Software) - Redmond, WA
I worked on the Flight team doing user interface design and marketing for “Microsoft Flight”.  I was responsible for creating art assets and had the opportunity to influence game design.  I also created a full-fledged game pitch as well as a separate game prototype with a small team.  (The prototype is available to view as a video upon request.)

Concept/UI/2D Artist  (February 2011 - January 2012)
Gas Powered Games - Redmond, WA
I designed the look of some characters for "Age of Empires Online," and made icons, units, maps, buttons, and other 2d work in Photoshop.

Contract Artist - 2D/3D Artist and Animator (October 2010 - January 2011)
Cricket Moon Media - Seattle, WA
I created and animated assets for web games such as "Dora's Great Big World"    (http://www.nickjr.com/games/doras-great-big-world-game.jhtml ) and "Mickey's Mousekercise"(http://disneyjunior.com/mickeys-mousekersize ). We worked with external clients such as Disney Online Studios and Nick Jr. and made sure the art assets followed their art standards and guidelines. I have used Flash to tweak layouts, render, and match voiceover with animation.  I also did some 3D animation in Maya for Mickey’s Mousekercise.
