I'm a game designer with a passion for creating engaging, interactive experiences. My journey began in the 80s when I first encountered computer games, igniting a lifelong fascination with the medium. At ten years old I started crafting simple text adventures and game clones, always eager to add my own twist.My unconventional education, being homeschooled, instilled in me not just fundamental knowledge, but the crucial skill of self-directed learning. This ability to continuously acquire and apply new knowledge has been the cornerstone of my career.After exploring various interests and careers, I found myself drawn back to my core passion: conceptualizing and creating interactive experiences. I co-founded Midnight Sea Studios, where I wore many hats - from game design and programming to art and animation. Our projects ranged from procedurally generated runners to unique card-based combat games, each presenting new challenges and learning opportunities.Most recently, I applied my skills in the field of educational technology at Elsevier's Shadow Health. As a technical designer, I collaborated in the development of digital simulations that help nursing students improve their skills and patient health outcomes. This role allowed me to blend my expertise in game design with the goal of creating meaningful, impactful learning experiences.Throughout my career, I've maintained that childlike curiosity and drive to understand how things work. It's this mindset, coupled with my diverse skill set, that allows me to approach game design from multiple angles, always seeking innovative solutions to create compelling user experiences.Whether it's crafting a new game mechanic, designing an intuitive UI, or developing an educational simulation, my goal remains the same: to create experiences that engage, challenge, and inspire users. I'm always excited to take on new challenges and continue learning in this ever-evolving field.
