Growing Up

From the moment I got my hands on my first game (Asteroids for the original Playstation), I knew games were something special. This feeling only strengthened as I discoved more and more games and loved coming up with new ideas for them, and dreaming about what it would be like to make them.

My Path to Game Dev

In 2016 I made my first ever game project, as part of a student GameMaker competition, and ever since I've been developing my skills with design and coding, and making little projects for fun.

In 2018 I studied at AIE learning about art, design, and code and that experience really helped me find what I enjoyed doing in games. From 2022 to 2023 I further studied design and decided to make the leap to programming and solidified my passion as a programmer with an eye for design.

Personal Hobbies

To this day I still love to participate in game jams and small projects just for fun, but even when I'm not I'm usually doing something creative. I love world-building, tabletop systems design, creating fun and interesting characters and madeup mystical species, and drawing.
