I've been passionate about gaming since my childhood. I first discovered level design with the Warcraft 2 map editor, and I taught myself how to make maps for Warcraft 2, Warcraft 3, and Age of Empires 2. I spent much of my 20s abroad, living in 7 countries while working in the tourism & events industries. After settling in Seattle, I studied game mechanics & balance with Jay Schneider at the University of Washington. During the pandemic I learned how to code in JavaScript, and in 2024 I graduated from CG Spectrum's game design program where I studied level design under Troy Dunniway. I'm also a top 100 ranked Dota Underlords player. In my free time I also enjoy reading fantasy literature, trekking (I recently walked the West Highland Way), and exploring Seattle.
