Careers

Depending on the day, sometimes we are troubleshooting ambitious ideas, or we could be handing out scripts to the board artists, or we could be checking all our designs before sending them to our vendor studios to build. Every day is different with its own flavour.

No matter how big FlippedNormals grows, I always want to keep producing content and solving the problems people are having. It’s really inspirational seeing how people improve by watching the videos we have, so keeping the core of always helping people is very important.

I look out for people who are easy to work with, having the ability to work as a team, the willingness to learn, help others, and put in the hard work. Having a strong portfolio also helps. I look for artists with a traditional arts background, due to the nature of our job as a matte painter.

Thanks to the internet, a strong portfolio (plus resume) gets you the interview. Your personality shows us we can spend 40+ hours a week with you. Your passion shows us how much you care about your work, your profession, and games as a whole. These three qualities land 90% of jobs.

There was no CGI industry when I started! In the late 1980’s I went to college to study architectural design on the advice from my architect father with the hope I would join the family firm. My dream was to be a traditional cartoonist and live a surfer lifestyle.
