As the lead creative director and sole artist on the team, I drive the visual conception of every project and collaborate closely with the engineer on game design to shape the overall experience from concept to play. I create 100% of the visual assets across 2D, pixel art, 3D, and more, including characters, backgrounds, UI, animations, and marketing materials.

Notable games include:

Deepest Sword: a physics-based side scroller that has over 500k downloads and 1 million plays across multiple platforms. Free on Steam.

Coin-Op Kid: A puzzle game that won 1st place in the Overall, Fun, and Theme categories for Ludum Dare 44 out of over 4000 entries.

Packets, Please: A Post-Net Neutrality simulator that tackles concepts of free speech and received an article published on Vice Motherboard.

Lead designer and design systems owner on Horizon Worlds, a VR social platform focused on creation, socialization, and play.

Collaborated with XFN partners across different disciplines: PM, Product design, engineering, research, audio design, and content design.

Worked across the design spectrum from initial concepts, to wireframes/mockups, to the final visual polish.

Built engaging worlds using the Horizon tools along with a team of game designers and artists.

Strove for consistency and attention to detail across the whole of Horizon UI systems, spanning several pillars and product areas. Owner of several projects within Horizon.

A liaison between the art and design teams, leading conversations and collaborations between the two.

Delivered the Magic Leap Lumin OS Settings application, which I was design lead of. Collaborated cross-functionally with numerous other teams to ensure coverage of all user-facing controls needed in the settings.

Worked with researchers, eye tracking engineers, and human factors to ensure proper calibration and fitting for first-time users in the out-of-the-box-experience.

Also made contributions to the Social applications, helping to design the avatar creation flow, social interactions, and user profiles.

Worked on concepts for a MR native, room-aware 3D browser.

I worked on Immersive Insights, a Mixed Reality data visualization application for the Microsoft Hololens.

While there I conducted research in the AR/MR sector, applied my game development background by modeling, animating, and prototyping in Maya and Unity, and applied design thinking methodologies to address the needs of our target users -- enterprise data scientists -- to make sure the visualizations are intuitive and informative.

Past Project: Data Science Experience, an all-in-one platform for data scientists to research, create, and collaborate.

I worked on designing and developing the original vision of Particle in a Box, a game that teaches the fundamentals of quantum physics. I gathered an interdisciplinary team of designers, developers, and physicists to develop and ultimately release Particle in a Box, which has since won the Student's Choice Award for the Serious Games Showcase & Challenge at I/ITSEC.
