I’m a Gameplay & Character Designer,
I live and breathe multiplayer games.
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”
I strive to never stop growing as a game designer. I am always trying to reassess my experiences and assumptions about what makes systems fun or gameplay immersive. With an emphasis on emergent gameplay and frame-to-frame skill expression, there is always more to learn and ways to reinvent old systems.
Featured Projects
Lunatic
A complete playable experience, built in Core with Lua for the Core Dungeons & Dragons Game Jam 2020. Remastered in summer 2021 to optimize out all the mistakes I made while learning the engine.
Crypts & Daggers
Built primarily in Swift for iOS, my partner in this project and I had to build a very simple game with the purpose of porting/refactoring the codebase to replicate the game in Unity and C#.
Bumper Butts
Alliteration is a lot of fun. So are kart racing games. So are butt jokes.
Still confused?
