Game Designer & MA Student

I’m a game designer and MA student in Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies (Digital Arts & Humanities) at UBC Okanagan. My work sits where playable systems meet critical scholarship — how challenge, embodiment, and ecological framing shape what players notice and feel.
I trained in Interactive Design & Game Development at SCAD (BFA), and I build when research needs a playable form: Unreal, Unity, WebGL, and shaders.
Interactive systems and custom shaders developed with Unreal Engine, showcasing Blueprint logic and real-time VFX.
A deep dive into Unreal Engine's material and Blueprint systems. This project demonstrates custom shader development for real-time visual effects, interactive logic systems, and optimization techniques for game-ready assets.
Full game development project with innovative mechanics and storytelling, built with focus on player experience.
A complete game project exploring narrative-driven mechanics and player agency. Designed and implemented from concept through production, including gameplay systems, level design, and user experience testing.
Atmospheric environment design with focus on lighting, spatial storytelling, and visual hierarchy.
Environment art exploring atmospheric storytelling through lighting and spatial composition. Created using industry-standard pipelines for real-time rendering, with attention to mood, scale, and narrative conveyed through visual elements.
Character modeling, rigging, and animation for interactive experiences with stylized art direction.
Character art pipeline from concept to implementation, including high-poly sculpting, retopology, UV mapping, texturing, rigging, and animation. Designed for real-time game engines with optimized geometry and expressive animation cycles.
