Hi! I’m Lauren Brampton, a third-year Game & Software Development student at TUS Thurles.
I love making & playing games, learning Unreal Engine, and creating 3D assets in Blender.
I have spent 19 years in Ireland (originally from England).
From a young age I have always loved playing video games, my dad was always keeping my brother and I up to date with the newest consoles & games. From the age of 4, my fasination with video games grew & when lockdown hit, bored in my room I found myself learning java to make plugins for minecraft or taking apart old computers to see how they work! Since then I knew I was meant to be in the IT workforce. Now I am my families personal computer tech, debugging issues and even fixing phone screens!
