ABOUT ME
Hi there! I'm a senior at the University of Southern California in the Game Design BFA program. My main focuses lie within gameplay, usually involving technical game design and content design.
I've shipped a few games and content pieces, including:
-
10 Challenges for Season 1 of skate. (as a Game Design Intern at EA)
-
2 titles on Steam (as a Game Designer at USC)
Here's what I'm working on right now:
-
Designing core gameplay systems for a puzzle game
-
Writing about game design on Substack
Outside of games-related activities, I'm a huge fan of writing movies and TV shows, playing tennis, and cooking. Feel free to reach out at any time :D
I'm looking for a full-time entry level role as a Game Designer or Technical Game Designer, so please don't hesitate to contact me about that either!
