Zach Pasikowski

3D VFX &

Lighting Artist

My name is Zach Pasikowski and I am a person who never quite grew out of the fantasy world.

I started my love of games in the era of Gameboys and Super Nes. My brother and I would be enraptured watching Mario leap across dangerous pits and Link batting across the land with the Master Sword.

As the titles came and went, and the consoles became more developed, the ability to dive into the virtual world and live these adventures became a core part of who I am. I recall the first game that grasped on me was Diablo 1. Diving into those dungeons of loot and danger enthralled me and I honestly believe that’s when the spark of what I wish to do with my life began.

What solidified it was attending a class at Kent Career Tech Center for 3D Modeling and Animation. My teacher noticed that I had great potential and helped fan that spark by pushing me to compete in a Skill USA competition. After placing 2nd at the State level, I knew I had the knack for 3D modeling and I set my sights on seeing how far I can go!

I am a person who is persistent, one that sees a goal and puts my blade to the grindstone.

I am looking at focusing on VFX and Lighting as manipulating particles to do my bidding feels empowering and manipulating emotions through the use of illumination is awe inspiring. However I also enjoy working on landscapes and wish to learn more on character modeling to be used for 3D printing in my spare time.

My ideal work environment is one where I am aimed at a task, and let loose. I thrive well when given an assignment and left to do my own bidding.

I wish to find a company that recognizes my abilities and nurtures it, so that I can join my flame with theirs and together we can light a beacon and bring light to this world!
