  • I enjoy the challenge of balancing in-game economy as well as combining design systems and feedback loops to craft fun and engaging game mechanics.
  • I thrive in opportunities where I combine both my design and technical skills and leverage game engines to iterate and prototype on game mechanics and craft immersive levels.
  • I regularly deconstruct, analyze, and document games, which can be found here.
  • I also play a lot of games and have an extensive gallery which you can find here . Let me know if you have any recommendations!
