Desire, Develop, Deploy
Hello!
My name is Keller Bowman, and I am a passionate technical artist with a keen eye for innovation and a deep love for interactive experiences. My work blends creativity with technical expertise, allowing me to develop immersive solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible.
I started Distant Lands in 2018 out of a desire to see game developers grow. I had been using the Unity Asset Store as a customer for several years at this point and wanted to see how my low poly 3D modeling could benefit other developers.
Understanding the User
What I Do
With experience in Unity development, editor tool creation, shader design, and UI/UX, I specialize in crafting dynamic systems that enhance gameplay and storytelling. I believe that everyone has a story to tell and I believe that my work makes it possible to share this story with aesthetic graphics and robust gameplay.
I quickly realized that my favorite thing to do as a developer is to work directly with the users. Through understanding the ways that my assets are used, I believe that my products can become greater than I could make them on my own.
Because of this, I place a high emphasis on meeting with and developing an understanding of the "user" or the developers that use my assets.
Aesthetic | Function
My Philosophy
I believe that great design comes from a mix of artistry and logic—where aesthetics meet functionality. Whether I’m building intuitive tools, designing engaging gameplay mechanics, or optimizing workflows, my goal is always to create meaningful, efficient, and enjoyable experiences.
