I'm a Game Designer / Developer who prototypes game mechanics and coordinates with programmers, designers, and artists on projects. I first found my interest in game design when I made java-based apps that moved squares. This led me to get my bachelor's in Game Design and Development where I studied and taught about making amazing games. I've had the chance to build games for escape rooms, universities, and many contracts that's brought me to where I am today!
