Piers is a visual development artist at Locksmith Animation, currently working on Bad Fairies.

After graduating from London South Bank University with a degree in Game Design & Development, he began his career in the games industry, spending four years creating concepts for indie PC and mobile titles. During this time, he collaborated closely with art directors and 3D teams on environments, props, vehicles, VFX and marketing visuals, and contributed to pitches for clients such as Paramount Studios and Apple Arcade. He is passionate about world-building and storytelling through design, and particularly enjoys bringing personality and atmosphere into the details of a scene.

Outside of the studio, Piers enjoys film photography, interior design, and hiking with his dog Bertie. He is also a fan of anime and animated films, with favourites including Coraline, Akira, and Disney’s Hercules.
