I am a Level/Systems Designer and a Junior pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Game Design at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, MI.
My dedication to the industry and to myself stems from an appreciation for the artistic and deeper meaning video games create. I have always had a strong appreciation for narrative driven experiences and the way different perspectives can be shared to others. I have a deep respect for highly stylized and artistic visuals that stem less from reality and more from an interpretation of the world and how we as people live in it. I plan to use what I learn to go into this endeavor in which I can find new and exciting ways to create the same, and better, experiences for others. I also hope to continue to develop my skills as I always believe there is more to learn.
My areas of focus is in level design and systems design. I enjoy building out immersive environments built on interacting from those interacting with the levels I design. I also have focuses in building systems for the player to interact with. Whether that be in backend development or interactions on the front end, developing mechanics for the player to engage with in the world is the experience I seek to create for all those who experience my projects.
