I'm a Game Design student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and have enjoyed learning the ins and outs of game design and art overall in my classes. I love video games, movies, books and writing.

I find it a challenging experience so far, but I am always eager to learn new things. So far, I have written two game design documents and a “story”.

My plans for the future are working for a game developing company such as Rockstar Games, Ubisoft, Bioware, Valve, and/or EA. Someday, maybe even start my own game development company. A role I really see myself in would be in a creative director position, but still having my hands in a game design/level designer role within the team.

I strive to be honest and try to extend myself to all gaming platforms out there without too much preference.

I'd love to share my thoughts on games, the game industry, and other miscellaneous topics that catch my eye with whomever reads them.
