MY VISION
What sets me apart from others is the breadth of experience I carry — from teaching high school courses, to creating lasting designs in every major branch of the entertainment industry. I envision being on the cutting edge of creative development for the next generation of immersive and interactive entertainment experiences. I welcome all challenges, especially those outside of my area of expertise. It opens the possibility to confront problems head-on and gain new insights in the process. This type of initiative and motivation extends to all aspects of my work ethic. My work balances the analytical with an almost boundless sense of imagination.
