One of the only apps of its kind approved for sale on Steam. I designed the app and was responsible for all UX research, UI and implementation, project and contractor management, and product marketing.

With more than 13 years of experience in Video Game Development, I've had the opportunity to work on multiple AAA titles ranging across console and PC.

Brought on board to provide print experience, create ads (print and web), marketing materials, infographics, and other promotional assets during transitional period where client was preparing for a more public focus on their product. Additionally, I managed print orders, vectorized existing branding materials, and expanded upon existing brand-identity and branding guidelines to better equip the client for future autonomy.

Creative TD was a long time client that I have done Vehicle Concept, 3D Vehicle work (high poly, low poly, textures), 3D Environment (high poly, low poly modeling, texturing), 2D Graphic Design/UI and 3D Icon/UI work for.

As an Environment Artist I created block out (greybox) environments, modeled and textured in game/final environments/set pieces, modeled and textured props, wrote exploratory pipeline documents for several in-game systems on Star Wars: Kinect, and set up preliminary lighting in sets that I was responsible for. While working on Star Wars: Kinect I had the pleasure of sharing office space with and being the sole artist on pre-production pipeline solutions for one of the game's play modes, working directly with the Publisher's Technical Director to create the greybox environment pipeline for that mode.While with Terminal Reality I shipped Ghostbusters: The Videogame and spent nearly two years working on Star Wars: Kinect.
