My name is Lee Walton. Welcome to my online portfolio. This site is designed to showcase my work and give you an idea about what I do. Please scroll down...
So I draw, and I think. I think a lot and I talk a lot. For me drawing is thinking. I like to create. Most of all I love to design. I'm happy designing anything. I have a keen interest in holistic design processeses, thinking about user experience and visual languages. I aim to make people feel. I aim for designs to mean something. I think I've been an artist and a designer all of my life. It feels as if I was meant to do this. I love to write about car design on my blog. Read it here
With a Masters Degree in Automotive Design I ventured into work with a skill set focused on cars that led me into the racing game industry. There I learned 3D modeling software, pushing verts and polygons but also drawing concept art and eventually ending up contributing to a seminal game franchise: Burnout. By 2007 I had moved to Finland and had gained the title Art Director, and a few years later (and many games) I co-founded my own indie games studio in 2012. We created and published our own original IP. After volunteering my expertise regularly I headed into higher education full time in 2013. Initially I taught Game Art but I was given the chance to return to my passion for car design when I led and developed a BA in Vehicle Design studies at Lahti Insitute of Design. I am very proud of what we achieved with the course, with alumni working around the world for major OEMs. In 2022 I returned to the UK for a new chalenge in the constantly evolving games industry, lecturing in Games Art at The Games Academy of Falmouth University.
