I’m an AUT (Auckland University of Technology) Game Design graduate who just completed a Master of Design focused on game development and visual storytelling. I’ve developed a distinct art style and enjoy experimenting across creative boundaries. I’m currently improving my 3D modelling and Unity skills and am eager to keep learning and contributing to creative projects and the design community. I’m open to collaborating with people overseas and can adapt to any time zone.
Outside of my work, I enjoy gaming, handcrafting Jewellery, tabling at conventions and going to the gym.
