About Me

I’m a 2D-focused game designer and pixel artist passionate about creating games that are competitive, challenging, and rewarding to master. With a background in graphic design, computer programming, and digital art, I bring both creative and problem-solving skills to game development, from visual design to gameplay systems.

I graduated with a B.S. in Creative Technologies (Game Design) from Illinois State University in 2023, after beginning my studies in computer science and graphic design at Drake University. I have experience in digital art, web design, and computer programming, supported by a strong leadership background.
