Digital Media, 2023

Harrison is a student from the University of Canberra, graduating this year with a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Media. Throughout my degree, I have developed skills within image (photography), audio, narrative, and video design, with extensive knowledge and improvement in 3D modelling and animation using blender. Notably I am also designing a game using unity engine and utilizing skills gained from this degree.

Some of my works include hosting and having published, a podcast episode apart of the “Listening to Canberra Voices” series “Samuel Byrnand – Studying and Working in Academia” (To be released 09/11/23) as part of the Professional Practice (Specialist Skills) Unit. Also having the opportunity to work in a professional environment as a photo/videographer with the Canberra business Instant Andy as part of the Professional Practice (Internships) Unit.

I have an online personality known as Swagtrapswag, which my passion is to be a Twitch streamer, YouTuber and to eventually become a video game designer. I started my journey into content creation at the age of 14, which their interests lie within video games and content creation and currently game development. my goal for the future is to make it into the Australian Games Industry, into an area where I can apply everything that I have been taught throughout my university degree.
