About Me

I am a game designer passionate about creating characters I grow to love and root for as I witness their progression from an idea in my head to a fully fleshed-out character.

I am currently studying at the School of Interactive Arts & Technology at SFU (Simon Fraser University).
Through game design I aim to create games that are fun and engaging, whether it be through the visuals, catchy music and/or a gripping story with enjoyable characters.
