JAKE PLESHE

Concept Artist, Illustrator, and Game Designer

My journey as an artist has been quite unique. I graduated college with a Bachelor’s of Mechanical Engineering, and worked at Ford Motor Company for 5 years on engine design and product development. I then moved to Boston Scientific as a Manufacturing Engineer for Cardiac Catheter systems. I enjoyed the challenges of engineering, but art was always my calling. In 2021 I decided to make the leap and pursue a full-time art career.

My experience as Mechanical Engineer in two top-tier corporations gave me a wealth of experience. I highly value what I learned in that time. In those environments I learned how to:

  • Meet challenging deadlines for complex projects

  • Collaborate with others in a manner that improves the performance and the experience of all team members

  • Communicate effectively, efficiently and respectfully

  • Lead and manage cross-functional teams

  • Analyze and problem-solve, applying logic, creativity, and ingenuity to analyze and optimize projects

My current goal is to work in the Entertainment Industry as a Concept Artist, and collaborate with like-minded teams to create truly awesome stories and experiences for everyone.

I have a never-ending thirst for improvement and growth, and a desire to help those around me achieve their best.

Whether you need a Concept Artist, Illustrator, or Game Designer, I am excited to contribute to your project! Please do not hesitate to reach out and connect.
