Summary

With a rich portfolio spanning over 10 commercial and independent projects, I am a creative who leaves a unique imprint on each title. My contributions have shaped distinctive art styles and played a pivotal role in securing multiple ‘Game of the Year’ accolades. Beyond aesthetics, my passion extends to the technical aspects of game development. Having presented my insights at the annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, I have explored the fascinating intersection of visual arts and interactive experiences, inspiring fellow creatives worldwide. As a game developer, I’m captivated by the emotional power of games and their ability to engage individuals. My proficiency spans various development pipelines and platforms, and I have a proven track record of publishing on major marketplaces. Dual citizenship in the US and Canada empowers me to work seamlessly across borders, enriching my global perspective. My international collaborations have yielded interactive experiences enriched by diverse cultural insight and creative talents. Having graduated from the University of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts with a double major in Fine Art and Multimedia Design, I bring my broad skill set and innovative creative problem-solving techniques to every project.
