Designing webpages since my Neopets craze in 2003, my love for art and immersive worlds quickly led me to video games. The surge of adrenaline I felt at reaching maximum level on my first "serious" game made me realize that I wanted to create things that got people invested and made them feel. I pursued that passion in undergrad, earning my B.F.A. at SCAD in 2015 in Interactive Design & Game Development.

After a few years of freelancing, I pursued my love for user interaction at VCU Brandcenter, graduating in 2022 with 3.9 GPA and an M.S. in Business with a focus on Experience Design. I strive to bring the emotional commitment and user-centric mechanics of Game Development to brand interactions, leveraging my passion for research and grounded strategy to produce experiences that actually make an impact.

I still spend way too much time customizing the games I play with mods and hacking together css for character pages. You'll probably find me wandering around the various environments, mind distracted by new and challenging projects, and aggroing pats (Sorry tanks!).
