FROM THE TEAM: AYMEN ADHAM, SENIOR ARTIST
The past eight years at Playdemic have allowed me to flourish in a truly wonderful and passionate creative space and it has given me the opportunity to develop my craft in ways I never would have imagined. My greatest growth as an artist happened when I was faced with new and exciting challenges. I wanted to show that I could take on any obstacle and Playdemic allowed me the opportunity to do just that. Here I’ve found my voice and I’ve become a highly valued team member.
It’s a sensational feeling to look back on where I started my journey and see how far I have advanced in skill and character. The beauty of the diversity here gives me a safe space without prejudice letting me be exactly who I am. I feel my job has evolved beyond just being an artist and it brings me great joy to be at the forefront of pioneering the culture here amongst people I am grateful to call my work family.
FROM THE TEAM: CLOSS BIRKETT, JUNIOR DESIGNER
All my life I’ve loved video games. I had a passion for the escape their fantastic worlds could provide, and I knew that one day I wanted to make my own and share that love with the world. I found Playdemic five years ago and joined their CS team. I spent a few years getting to know our game and our players until I got the opportunity to switch roles and become a Junior Designer at the start of the pandemic. Learning the ropes during lockdown has been challenging, but also very rewarding. I get to wake up every day and do the job that I’ve always dreamed of, surrounded by an incredible work family who welcome and support individual growth. I’m now working on features and courses to make Golf Clash even better.
My journey as a designer is still in its early stages, but with the support from a great team, I’ve already learned and accomplished so much, and I can’t wait to see where this role takes me and just how high I can soar.
