d3t welcomes Norma Chrysiliou, Associate Technical Animator

16th Dec 2022

Tell us a bit of information about your experience/career background?

Before joining d3t, I studied Animation at the University of Dundee, where I undertook a variety of different roles during my four years there. However, I ended up specialising in 3D Animation and Rigging, whilst also learning coding in my spare time.

Why d3t?

I value companies with excellent work cultures, and here at d3t, right from the get-go I was made to feel very welcome and saw just how friendly everyone is. Plus having the opportunity to progress professionally alongside working on a range of diverse and distinct projects at such a reputable company known for quality, is why my first professional role couldn’t have been anywhere else but d3t.

What do you love about games?

Every time I play a game, it’s like I enter a different world – a world where I am the protagonist.

However, I’d say the thing that I love the most about games, and also what makes them different from other media, is the fact that you get to make choices and control your character. Because of that, you don’t just play a game, you experience it.

What games are you currently playing, and what is your favourite game?

Some of my favourite games are, Stronghold (Crusaders), The Dark Pictures Anthology games which I play together with my best friends, and I enjoy playing pretty much any FPS game. But my absolute favourite game has to be Minecraft which I’ve been playing since I was 12 and have so many memories with.

Do you have any fun facts or hobbies?

Other than video games, I love playing the piano, and listening to music. I’ve been a scout all my life and I’m also a big football fan, especially of my local team, AEK Larnaca.
