About Me

I began in film, drawn to visual storytelling.

After graduating from Interlochen Arts Academy, my festival short film, Preggo, reached 250k views and helped me land a position at Robert Zemeckis’s production studio, ImageMovers.

While earning my BFA at Art Center College of Design, I took game development courses and was immediately hooked. After graduation, I was commissioned to work on the multiplayer mobile fantasy game Exiles of Embermark.

I then worked as a combat designer on several projects that were ultimately shelved before founding Strange Creatures Studio LLC.

At Strange Creatures, I led a team of five to create Raindancer, a cooperative souls-like game released to a 91% positive rating on Steam and a substantial profit.

Work on the sequel was put on hold indefinitely after severe complications during the pandemic. Around that time, I attended Savannah College of Art and Design, graduating with honors with a master’s degree in Game Development.

From December 2022 to May 2026, I worked at The Gang AB with clients including Vans, the NHL, Wimbledon, and NBCUniversal.

I love what I do.
