My name is Peyton Varney, and I am a Senior Environment Artist at Naughty Dog. Over the past eight years, I have helped create environments for The Last of Us Part I and The Last of Us Part II. Prior to joining Naughty Dog, I interned at Insomniac Games, where I contributed to Marvel's Spider-Man for PlayStation 4.

In addition to my work in the game industry, I have spent the past seven years teaching online and creating educational content focused on environment art for games. During that time, I have developed my own courses, produced tutorials for schools such as Gnomon, and built a YouTube channel that provides free learning resources for aspiring artists.
