About

I’m a game designer and writer based in Indiana, where I design the mechanics and worlds of games. I have experience in Unity and Unreal and like to use my skills to design unique experiences. If I can think of an interesting way to do something, I’ll strive to do it that way.

I’ve been wanting to make video games ever since I first played them about fifteen years ago. It’s the first and only job that I’ve ever wanted to do. Since then, I’ve been creating designs for stories and mechanics almost every day. 

I’ve studied at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), and used the opportunity to major in game design and development, and to broaden my knowledge base by studying such subjects as mythology, philosophy, and human-computer interaction, as I believe that any and all knowledge is always helpful when creating interesting content. I am profoundly curious about the world, and love to soak up knowledge whenever and wherever I can.
