I design games, interactions, and stories; I have a passion for the unique way that audio, visuals, and mechanics come together as a whole work.
Besides my design focus, I have working experience and a broad mid-level knowledge in art and programming - I aim to solve problems and push boundaries with an adaptable and detail oriented approach.

DOWNTIME MANAGEMENT
I enjoy getting lost in my music collection, or temporarily exiting my corporeal form to read about anything from ancient history, industrial design, fictional worlds - and how those elements connect our reality together. I'm engaged by discussion and humor, and try to put myself forward to explore and experience things that are alien to me.
(Recently, I took up ballroom dancing)
(Some) Games that are dear to me:
SOMA, STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, Bioshock, TES3: Morrowind, Bloodborne
