Though I've found a liking for programming, that doesn't mean I haven't found interest in other areas too. All areas of programming interest me, as well as level design, AI design, systems design, and narrative design. As my Game AI professor has said, "we are in need of a new generation of design-minded programmers and programming-minded designers," which has been a key concept throughout my education in Game Design.

​

As a game designer, I hope to bring my own touch of originality to the table, while offering a practical sense of documentation, iteration, and refinement upon everyone's ideas! As a programmer, I hope to be able to capture those ideas and bring them to life! As both, I try not to let the fantastical compete with the practical, instead allowing my perspectives on both sides work together. As a programming-minded designer, I know how truly limitless options can be, and as a design-minded programmer, I can be mindful of how small decisions in how I solve a problem can affect relations across systems, and how I can be creative in how I go about engineering the solution in the first place!
