I was a undergraduate student in the Interactive Media & Game Design major at SUNY Polytechnic Institute. I aspire to be a Game Designer/Artist and a Graphic Designer. I also have a minor in Art & Creative Culture, as I love creating assets, graphics and making something out of nothing.
Born and raised in New York City, I've been surrounded by numerous modes of digital media, which has influenced my bias and love for social media and digital societies.
This is my online portfolio. You'll be able to find a plethora of my work, ranging from Graphic Design to Video Game Design.
