I work closely with my leads to ensure developers are able to work efficiently on their assigned projects, and work directly with developers in order to ensure they thrive in their role. I also work closely with the leaders of the other divisions to keep all departments aligned and moving in the right direction. Additionally, I handle project intake, working directly with clients and account managers to define the best solutions to client requests, as well as define project scope and budget. As part of this process, I present proposals to clients during formal RFP presentations and field any technical questions or concerns directly with them. Show less

Part game designer, part artist, part developer, part high level producer. Functionally, I lay the groundwork for projects (design, development framework, art style) and then guide the team to the finish line, making sure that the project is held to the highest standards.

I generate branded interactive experiences and videogames for clients all over the world. Responsible for all aspects of game creation - from initial concepts and design to art and programming.

I work with clients on various projects, from architectural visualization to prop design, to logos. I've managed multiple projects, and worked with clients to ensure high quality content delivered in time and on budget

I wrote the course curriculum for Game Design and Development, a 3 year course at Canadore College. The course was written from scratch and touches on all facets of game creation, with the intent being to create well rounded generalists that could quickly find quality employment and excel at small-to-medium game studios. One of the signature components of its design is its unique prototyping classes - classes that exist in each semester which are designed to give students a space to… Show more I wrote the course curriculum for Game Design and Development, a 3 year course at Canadore College. The course was written from scratch and touches on all facets of game creation, with the intent being to create well rounded generalists that could quickly find quality employment and excel at small-to-medium game studios. One of the signature components of its design is its unique prototyping classes - classes that exist in each semester which are designed to give students a space to apply what they've learned to build a game in somewhat of a semester-long game jam. Students play each others games and offer feedback, allowing them to learn to take criticism, as well as to develop a critical eye for game mechanics and design. Show less

During my time at Ganz, I ran the gamut from ultra-low poly environment and character modeling and texturing for mobile and web, to high poly digital sculpting for toy-line prototypes, and everything in between. As a senior artist, I had additional responsibilities that included training employees, particularly in ZBrush or character work, occasionally managing small teams, as well as documenting workflow and pipeline standards to help speed up production. I was also in charge of all… Show more During my time at Ganz, I ran the gamut from ultra-low poly environment and character modeling and texturing for mobile and web, to high poly digital sculpting for toy-line prototypes, and everything in between. As a senior artist, I had additional responsibilities that included training employees, particularly in ZBrush or character work, occasionally managing small teams, as well as documenting workflow and pipeline standards to help speed up production. I was also in charge of all physical toy prototypes, and acted as a liaison between the Art and Marketing departments during these projects. My responsibilities involved modeling 3d prototypes, as well as sending the work to our in-house rapid prototype machine, which I was in charge of using and maintaining. Show less

I tested games being developed by a number of studios and published by Groove.
