Kieran Hopkins is a Technical Artist currently studying Digital Animation and Game Design at Ferris State University. He is driven by inspiration, creating experiences that spark imagination, curiosity, and emotion through interactive design.

Game design is more than just mechanics or visuals to him. It’s about inspiring players to feel, think, and explore. He loves working in between art and technology where creativity meets problem-solving.

He is continuing to develop his skills exploring shaders, procedural tools, and optimization. He enjoys learning how every piece of the game pipeline fits together, from the inspiration to the playable experience.

Kieran is currently seeking internship opportunities where he can collaborate with experienced developers and continue growing as both a designer and a creative thinker.
