About Me

I am an aspiring game designer who is currently studying Creative Technology and Design at CU Boulder where I have taken classes on topics including game design, development, and alternate arcade interfaces.

My game design experience includes participating in game jams, creating both school and independent projects, and a summer internship at game studio, Serenity Forge in 2019.

In addition to my experience making games, I have skills in other related creative disciplines. I have a passion for technical art, with over 11 years of 3D modeling experience in Blender, specifically focusing on stylized modeling techniques such as faking 2D art styles with 3D models.

I also work as the Lead Math Instructional Assistant at CU Boulder’s Student Academic Success Center, supporting Calculus and Pre-Calculus classes and planning trainings for our team.

My proficiencies include:

Unity
Godot
Blender (Character Modeling & Rigging, Environmental Modeling)
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Coding (C++, C#, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript)
