About

Ever since I was a kid I've been in love with art and I've been in love with games. Especially art in games.

When I started working carpentry part time, I found myself fascinated with how every little detail comes together to make a complete piece.

Around high school was when I was completely set on persusing art in games. I've worked with both the Game Developers Club and X-Reality Club to make art for projects. I'm also an active project lead for the project "Chumps Chained" with MonRiverGames.
