Over the last decade I have been working to cultivate a nuanced and multi-faceted expertise on the topic of games: I started out by studying Interactive Animation at the SAE Institute, where I developed skills ranging from character art, to rigging and animating 3D models, to coding in Unity engine; after which I endeavored to specialise in Game Art at the HKU. It was then that I realised I wanted to not merely illustrate concepts, but come up with these nuanced concepts of environments, cultures, and the people that live within them. To this end, I began my studies in Global and Comparative Perspectives, where I gained insights into the different modes of thought that shape languages and cultures, religions and customs. Throughout my years studying philosophy, I made sure to apply all this knowledge to games or (if impossible) narratives, writing all my essays, exams, and theses on topics ranging from player/character identity overlap to using interactive narratives to help bridge cultural gaps. I also took extracurricular classes on fiction, children's literature, and a minor in Games Studies, which included classes practicing interactive narratives and game design.During this time I also consistently kept game-related projects and jobs, from running a 5-year homebrew D&D 5e campaign, to a job as student assistant with a research lab doing studies into how play connects and informs both our past and our present, to spending a few years as lead artist on the recently kickstarted card strategy game, and winner of the 2022 toy of the year strategy games, Turning Tides. Games have been the thread that ties my adult life together, and I want to help create the next line of meaning- and impactful games using my varied and nuanced perspective of the potential of games, as well as numerous skills regarding their development, although my preference goes out toward narrative design, as I believe it is there that a game's memorability and impact lie.
