SUCCESS THROUGH MENTORSHIP
Tiger Yang
AFTER GRADUATING FROM VERTEX:
Environment Artist at Maverick Games
"The program gave me access to advice from mentors who are industry professionals. My mentors helped me push my term III project to a level where although it was the only complete environment project in my portfolio, it was enough to land multiple interviews with AAA companies and also a job.
To add to that, one of my mentors helped connect me with numerous recruiters and other professionals in his contacts. This included the art director at Maverick Games who connected with me personally for an interview after the referral."
