I'm David Ronnes, currently working as Senior 3D Marketing Artist at RARE Ltd.

Originally from the Netherlands, I have been working in animation and gaming for the last six years in Europe. In 2016, I graduated from the Digital Animation and Visual Effects School at Universal Studios, Florida USA.

I love my work and feel lucky that as a 3D artist I get to help drive the future of how content is created and perceived globally.
