About Me
I’m Michael Barber, a digital content designer and 3D artist based in the Manchester area. I combine graphic design, video and 3D to turn ideas into engaging visual content.
My role at Patrol Base brings together video production, photography, campaign graphics and live streaming. Previously, at Matmi, I worked on commercial design and animation for educational games. I enjoy developing a concept, exploring how it could look and bringing it to life.
Autodesk Maya is my main 3D tool, and I also have experience in Cinema 4D and Blender. I use Adobe Creative Cloud for design and video, alongside Substance Painter and Figma.
I hold a 2:1 in Visual Effects from Futureworks, Manchester. I’m always exploring new techniques and visual effects, taking inspiration from audience interests and the wider creative industry.
