About Me

I had to put it somewhere

Headshot 750x500

I am a 4th year student at Boise State University in the GIMM (Games, Interactive Media, and Mobile) program. I started coding and working on small games and projects about 10 years ago, and while most of those early ones weren't that good, I've always had fun making things for people to experience and enjoy. While I now focus mainly on the design and art side of games and technology, I still often work in C# for personal and school projects. Keep scrolling if you want to see some of my newer projects, or go to the archive if you want to see some older stuff that I keep around just for fun.
