Background
I’m a developer that attended the Digipen Institute of Technology (2009-2013), where I’d met a team of like-minded devs, where together we produced a number of award winning titles, and kickstarted our first professional game: Distance!
Since then I’ve under-taken a positions, from Technical Level Design, Toy Design/Presentation, Sound Effect Designer, VR Scene Builder & Animator, to 3D Art Consultant. While I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to pursue an eclectic variety of creative projects, my passion lies with Game / Level Design. Wringing the potential out of an environment or interesting mechanic while incubating the sense of ‘fairness’ is a joy. Honing and balancing these experiences and transmuting them into something new and depthful with a driven team is my passion.
Of course, while I love working with most facets of a game’s framework, there’s nothing like the cryptic tug of creating mysteries off of the beaten path for players to chase and solve within a larger experience.
Secrets are my jam!
If I’m not pixel pushing, I’m probably wriggling my limbs to their limits, whether it be cycling, rock climbing, dodge-balling, ping-ponging, or just exploring the beautiful Santa Monica mountains.
That said, there’s nothing more exciting to me than finding an inventive bunch to share and feed off of each other’s creative energies with and do some problem-solving. If you have an interesting idea or project you’d like to flesh out, feel free to shoot me a line!
