ABOUT ME
Games have always been apart of my life, it is my greatest interest and the thing I'm passionate about. Growing up I loved games that would feature editors and level creators. I would create and share these different levels with friends and seeing them have fun within these levels, sparked my passion for creating games for others to enjoy. I would learn how to use Adobe's Flash to create quick very basic platformers, and then from there, I would come to learn about Unity and Unreal Engine to create more professional games. As much as I love games, I do believe we could always learn from other things. I tend to love learning about movies, seeing how the talent and skills of a great team come together to create something that's entertaining in a different way.
