Game DesignerAs a game designer I focused on the game play mechanics for mobile games. I designed the over-arching gameplay, designed features, pitched games and created asset lists.Designer Credits:Party Place (Mobile iOS & Android)Associate Producer:I worked with the Third Party Development team to oversee the quality of game design and art direction for projects that were being developed outside the studio.

My position was as a Generalist for Game Design, Art and Animation. I helped to design gameplay features and solve game design problems. I would created both 2D and 3D animations, illustrate and design characters, create concept art, create UI elements and whatever else was needed that I could help with.Credits:Disney Princess: Enchanting Storybooks (Wii & DS)Pictionary (Wii)

I contracted as a Generalist where I developed over 100 Flash mini-games for websites. I would animate characters and other assets, create objects and characters, design the game play and then send the design and assets to programmers who would turn it into a playable game.

I created storyboards for commercials that served as a proof of style as well as a guide for shot sequences.Credits:Nike 6.0 Athlete Profile commercials

I utilized Mocap Animations to create animated dances sequences. The process involved cleaning up mocap animations, blending animations, and retiming animations to match the beat. As much as possible, scenes from the game were to match the films, but when that wasn't feasible dance sequences needed to be improvised. Full dance sequences were then implemented on a shot by shot basis into the proprietary game engine. Credits:High School Musical 3: Dance! (Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

As an intern, I was trained on how to use the Flash program and then instructed on how to animate and create art assets. I then assisted on various projects in illustrating characters, creating assets and making animations.
