About

Hello! I'm a sophomore student at NYU game center, class of 2026, majoring in game design. My passion for gaming extends beyond playing; I'm particularly drawn to narrative and puzzle games.

With over two years of experience, I've honed my skills as an innovative and deadline-oriented designer. From video games to board games and digital media, I've guided projects from conception to polished product. My portfolio showcases a diverse array of genres, including 2D platformers, puzzles, RPGs, adventures, horror, and narrative-driven games, alongside digital media designs.

Currently, I'm deeply involved in designing and managing various indie game projects, constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities in the creative field.
