EDUCATION

This Is Me

Thanks for checking out my Portfolio!

I've been gaming all my life. I love satisfying mechanics that push mastery, and enjoy seeing my creativity in a game come together on screen.

My biggest design influences are Assassin's Creed, Sonic Adventure and its Chao gardens, Pokemon, Monster Hunter, Jet Set Radio, and Dark Souls.
And I'm inspired everyday by all the indies evolving old concepts, experiences and taking memorable risks.

I find myself spending a lot of my free time analyzing games and consuming game analysis content.
I can't help but to fill out game-play mechanics for the loosest of concepts. And I love getting stuck in design problems.

Games let you venture through your wildest fantasies. Games conjure up opportunities to reflect on life.
Games have a future as powerful staple teaching tools. Games show that no one is incapable in life.
Games are what I want to be a part of.
