Melwin's work
About Melwin
Art has been my passion since childhood, inspiring me to pursue creativity as a lifelong career. After earning a degree in Computer Science, I completed a diploma in Animation Film Design and began my professional journey as a 3D Generalist at . Music in 2003. Working on character creation, environment design, animation, and broadcast promotions laid the foundation for my creative career.
I progressed to Creative Lead at Graffiti Animation, where I expanded my expertise across animation, graphic design, and print media. As Creative Head at Smira Creatives, I led the production of a 7D virtual ride experience for Wonderla Theme Park. Later, as Creative Director at Yellow Tree Productions, I managed international clients and delivered end-to-end creative solutions, overseeing projects from concept and scripting to final production.
Driven by my passion for interactive entertainment, I pursued a Master's degree in Game Design and Development at Teesside University, UK, graduating with Distinction. During my studies, I actively participated in multiple game jams, strengthening my design and collaborative skills. I then worked as a Game Designer at Digilabs in Barking, UK, before transitioning into the gaming industry as an Art Director, leading visual development for gamification projects.
A defining milestone in my career came at MyWhoosh in Abu Dhabi, where I joined as Game Art Director and was later promoted to Game Director, leading the product vision and cross-functional development. I currently serve as Game Director at Neolite Games Studio, where I successfully led the development and launch of the studio's debut title, Kapachun.
With over two decades of experience spanning animation, visual design, gamification, and game development, I have built and led multidisciplinary teams, delivered products from concept to launch, and driven creative vision across diverse industries. I am now seeking opportunities to contribute my leadership, product vision, and creative expertise to ambitious projects that push the boundaries of interactive entertainment and digital experiences.
