Statement:

     My name is Vance Wu and I am an artist. I specialize in 3D and 2D digital content creation in artistic, design, production and technical capacities. I think my nature and tendency to create and share have helped pave my journey as an artist. Specifically to interactive entertainment and digital media in general, this comes to mean many things like the telling of a story, the playability of a game level, even the efficiency in which all of it is executed and much more.

     Ideally, the goal is to create something unique to the medium at hand. Something that we, as human beings may not be able to physically see or touch, but can realistically experience in the closest way possible where the only limit is our own imagination. I craft stories and build worlds. This is my passion.

Background:

     I was born in Savannah, Georgia but was raised in San Francisco, California for most of my life. Growing up, I've always had the tendency to create and design. It wasn't until the end of high school that I discovered my fascination with interactive media and art. From then on, I began to, and still continue to dedicate a large part of my life to constantly grow as an artist and designer both creatively and technically.

     Since graduating from college, I have been working on personal projects, as well as freelance and contract jobs ranging from independent games and mods to larger projects for platforms like the Playstation 3 and Facebook. I am currently working at Zynga, a social gaming company located in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hope to be updating this website with both professional and personal content periodically. Stay tuned!
