Disaster Golf
2021 - 2024 | Hippo Havoc | Published January 2024

While Disaster Golf started as my senior Capstone project, development continued past college, and the game was eventually released on Steam. Disaster Golf is a golf game where you must use natural disasters to hit the ball. Explore the beach, jungle, and an active volcano while you complete levels as fast as you can.

During college, the team was comprised of 30 members, and I worked on the project as an environmental artist and 3D modeler as well as an art co-lead. After college, I was the sole artist on the project. For this project, I created concept art, 3D modeled and textured a variety of environmental assets, created flythrough cutscenes, decorated all levels with environmental art, and even re-edited the trailed as we neared our release.

Untitled Pixel Game
2022 - Present

I'm current working solo on a, so far, untitled pixel art game with gameplay inspired by Animal Crossing and Pokémon Legends Arceus. I've been primarily working on the UI for my journal system so far as well as creating animations for the main character and experimenting with tree sprite

In a post-apocalyptic world, you've decided to reconnect with nature and see what you've lost on your way to "progress". Observe and research the natural world around you by catching bugs, photographing birds, picking flowers, and feeding deer while you explore lush forests and vast desert.

Get Lucky
2022

Get Lucky was created for GMTK Game Jam 2022 and was worked on by a team of nine people. I was a 3D artist on the project. I modeled many of the props and arranged them into the scene seen in the background of the game. I also designed the logo for the project.

You're out on a date with Lady Luck herself, and it's time to pay the bill. However, you both want to be the one to pay it. Luck will determine who pays for dinner: You, or Lady Luck herself!

We ranked #163 for presentation and #407 overall out of 6,125 entries.

POWERful Decisions
2021 Bradley University

POWERful Decisions is a game developed for a client from a preexisting prototype. It was created by an 11 person team. I created background artwork and animations for the project across Photoshop and Unity. I also worked as an editor for the questions and answers within the game and created the role booklets.

POWERful Decisions is a 4 player asymmetrical game. One player will make all of the decisions for the team and the rest will act as advisors. The advisors all receive booklets that give them information on their roles. The game teaches about the Smart Grid and acts as a team building exercise.

In Cold Circuits is one of three prototypes developed for a client. It was created by a five person team. I worked on character designs, character sprite sheets, and writing for this project.

In Cold Circuits is a murder mystery game where the player must deduce which suspect murdered the Smart Grid. The murderer is determined during the game as the player discovers information. Each suspect has their own motive, but you have a limited amount of time to deduce who really committed the crime.
