ABOUT
As a game designer, I aspire to create games that utilize intuitive design to make the activity of playing effortless and fun. I design games with a rational, data-centric approach to their features that relies on iterating based on feedback and info gained from the target audience. This website showcases my experiences and contributions to projects. Come explore my world and see the stuff I made.
