About Me

I am a passionate and versatile Game Developer specializing in Cinematic and Narrative Design, driven by a deep love for creating immersive, story-driven experiences. My path began in film and evolved into game development. I have contributed to large-scale titles such as EXODUS and DOOM: The Dark Ages, as well as several AA, indie, and self-published projects, including one successfully released on PlayStation.

With experience across every phase of production from concept through launch, I focus on seamlessly integrating narrative and gameplay. My work spans cinematic and narrative design, technical implementation, and creative direction, supported by a strong foundation in gameplay engineering. I have also led small multidisciplinary teams, guiding developers and artists toward cohesive creative and technical goals.

As an award-winning filmmaker and ArtCenter College of Design graduate, I bring a cinematic eye and storytelling precision to interactive worlds. My goal is to craft emotionally resonant experiences that captivate players and push the creative boundaries of what games can achieve.
