Call of Duty Mobile
Tencent Timi J3
In 2020, right after undergrad, I joined Tencent TiMi Studios' J3 department as a game concept designer on Call of Duty: Mobile — one of 9 people on the 2D design team within a 350+ person org.
Shipping AAA concepts under veterans from Tencent and Activision, on a monthly release cadence, was a sharp first chapter. I designed characters, skins, and props from the art director's briefs, and developed my own pipeline along the way: 2D sketch → 3D model → 2D polish.
After I left CoDM 1 year later, I participated in a few unannounced fps games as a concept artist, one of those was Delta Force.
