Pedro Cabeleira Lead Artist at Ubisoft

Pedro Cabeleira

Many congratulations to Escapee Pedro Cabeleira who has recently landed a job as Lead Character Artist at Ubisoft Reflections.

Ubisoft Reflections is a multiple-award-winning games company based in Newcastle, whose long roster of hit games includes The Division, The Division 2, Far Cry 5, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Watch Dogs, Watch Dogs 2, Watch Dogs: Legion, The Settlers, Starlink: Battle For Atlas and The Crew.

Prior to that, Pedro was Lead Character Artist at Traveller's Tales, a UK based games company which specialises in Lego games.

Pedro took our animation short course at Escape Studios and, after leaving Escape, successfully broke into the games industry.

Breaking into the Games Industry
Pedro's advice to students looking to break into the industry is simple and straightforward:

"Don’t give up, decide on the direction you really want and work really hard. I know it sounds like a cliché, but really this is the deciding factor.  The games industry is not an easy career to break into, but it can be worth the effort, if you’re willing to put it in."
