Holly Hudson
Co-Founder / Art Director / 3D & Environment Artist
I am a creative leader and artist, with a focus on shaping the artistic direction of games and immersive experiences. I work across games and virtual production, combining environment art, 3D design, and creative direction.
I graduated with a master’s in Games Design and Development from The National Film and Television School, which helped me in my journey to cultivate a versatile skill set, with specialisms in environment art, 3D modeling, and visual stylisation.
As co-founder of Studio Morgan, an indie games studio I established with Harvey Hayman, I am deeply involved in both the creative and production aspects of game development. Our debut title, Morgan: Metal Detective, launched on all platforms this year, with my contributions spanning art direction, level design, 3D art, and UI design. It’s been an incredibly rewarding project that’s allowed me sharpen my ability in leading the overall artistic vision of projects, balancing creativity with cohesive design principles.
In addition to my work at Studio Morgan, I freelance as an environment and 3D artist, and art director. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with companies such as Final Pixel, VaynerMedia, World Away Games, Thought Den, Way Studio XR, Beyond Tomorrow Studios and Trickshot.
Most recently, I’ve expanded my practice into virtual production, working with Final Pixel as a Junior Level Designer and On-Set Unreal Engine Artist on the live-action Lego Musical by Kenny Ortega. This experience has allowed me to apply my skills in Unreal Engine 5 to real-time environments for VP workflows, collaborating closely with cross-disciplinary teams to design and implement sets that integrate seamlessly with live action.
I’m always on the lookout for new projects that challenge me creatively and let me bring exciting, visually stunning experiences to life!
