I've been a game designer for as long as I can remember. Whether it was simple paper games drawn out as a grade schooler, planning out Dungeons & Dragons campaigns as a high schooler, or working digitally with early game design software as a college student, building levels and game worlds has always been my passion. So after studying abroad in Japan and falling in love with the country, I dedicated myself to learning the language and finding work in the Game Industry. I enjoy the entire process of game development and have taken on many roles in various companies, learning whatever skills I could along the way. In addition to conceptualizing and leading the production of a few iOS/Android games, I also pushed for the development of a VR demo around the time Oculus and HTC Vive first hit the market, as well as working in UE5 for AAA game projects. I'm well versed in both UE5 the Unity Engine and learned C# and Unreal Blueprints better serve the needs of my official projects, as well as to create games of my own on the weekends. Having studied Fine Art in College I was able to take on the roll of 2D artist for a number of projects as well, and later began learning 3D modeling to supplement this.My life motto is to live boldly, and be creative! And to this end I take each day as a new opportunity to grow, develop, and add value to the world.
