I was inspired to make games because of how interactivity enables the creation of experiences exclusive to the medium, and I keep making them because I love how interdisciplinary and collaborative the process is! I hope to foster connection through crafting compelling and accessible games.

Outside of games, my interests include drawing, singing along to music, and reading. My animated self-portrait to the left was created for the MAGICAL Medium Zine 2024.
