About Me

Hey, I’m Sailesh Vaghela [🗣️ Say-Lesh Vaag-Hel-Ah] 👋.

I am a Senior UI Artist II at Criterion Games, which is in Guildford, UK.

My journey working in the video games industry started in 2008. Becoming a web designer at Codemasters, to then eventually getting into the development side, in 2015, as a UI Artist at Electronic Arts.

I have greatly developed in my professional creative skills through the years, and look forward to continuing to develop myself further. I bring an expert voice, balanced opinion that takes into account creative vision and technical feasibilities, and a passionate attitude towards work.

I have achieved Criterion Games’ Artist of the Year 🏆✨ four times (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022) - which is a loud brag if I saw any!

I really do enjoy being creative, and in my spare time I like to focus on personal art - mainly drawing in Procreate and Photoshop. My personal art has been bought by many people around the world, published in books, featured heavily as murals in a Need For Speed game, and I also had a chance to share my process for an online beginners portrait course.
