Senior VFX Artist at Riot Games

Summary

Hi! My name is Soyoung and I'm a VFX artist who loves stylized FX. I previously worked at Riot Games. I made character effects on League of Legends and Legends of Runeterra.

Before stepping into real-time VFX, I used to make some concept arts and illustrations for mobile games(2014-2019) and studied traditional & computer animation. I was an aspiring animator when I was little. Life is fun and awesome since I ended up animating particles!
