Summary

I'm a passionate and creative game designer and digital artist, recently finishing college with hands-on experience in game development, level design, and virtual reality projects. I have a strong eye for detail, enjoy experimenting with innovative mechanics, and love bringing characters and worlds to life through 3D rendering and digital illustration.

During college, I gained practical experience collaborating on projects, managing deadlines, and turning creative ideas into playable experiences. I'm eager to contribute my skills, visual storytelling, and problem-solving abilities to exciting gaming projects, and to continue learning and growing within the industry.

I also have a passion for cosplay, designing and creating my own costumes from start to finish. This involves researching characters and their traits, sketching designs, creating mood boards, and carefully selecting colours, fabrics, and embellishments to bring each character authentically to life. I enjoy applying practical techniques such as pattern-making, draping, sewing, fabric manipulation, and dyeing materials. These skills complement my digital artistry and strengthen my creative versatility.


I see myself as a creative professional with extensive expertise in game design and development, showcasing a wide understanding of game mechanics and level-design principles. I can also demonstrate proficiency in digital creativity, three-dimensional rendering, and have vast virtual reality experience, complemented by strong analytical insight and perceptive observation. I strive to be known for artistic innovation and cognitive flexibility, with a proven track record in efficient time management and deadline adherence. Career goals include advancing interactive communication skills to enhance collaborative projects within the gaming industry.
