Recently, as a Production Artist and Lead Designer, I have guided the development of three brand-focused commercial titles, including a Fortnite game for Polysleep, a Roblox experience for Psycho Bunny, and a Roblox game for TD Bank. Each project demanded a deep focus on UX design, ensuring seamless player engagement while balancing mechanics, layout, and interactivity. Beyond shaping the core gameplay, I led cross-functional teams, delegating tasks across art and engineering to bring each title from concept to launch. This included creating all visual and written game design documentation, concept/prototype assets, necessary production assets, and final marketing material.
I am passionate about fostering meaningful connections and driving conversations that inspire positive change. From immersive education platforms to community growth through gaming. Guided by a strong work ethic, collaboration, and effective time management, I channel my creative spirit through the intersection of art, technology, and research to shape transformative digital experiences.
Proficient in a wide and growing range of digital creative tools, I am committed to making design more inclusive by sharing my expertise and promoting the use of free, accessible resources. My mission is to inspire creativity and innovation while advocating for design that is impactful and inclusive.Education:
