ARTIST STATMENT

I have always seen games as an incredible medium for storytelling and connection. I have had pleasure of diving deep into the world of game creation through my studies and time with PantherDev. Leading teams to develop engaging gameplay experiences has been one of my greatest joys. Each project has taught me something new about creativity and collaboration.

I often worked on projects that challenged me as developer and designer during my time with PantherDev. One standout moment was spearheading the development of a game that had three missions and boss fights. I found the process of collaborating with different members to implement the boss fight to be rewarding.

In my free time I enjoy drafting out new game concepts and networking at game dev meet ups. These experiences fuel my passion for crafting unique gaming experiences that resonate on an emotional level.
