About

Thank you for browsing my portfolio!

I am a professional Video Game Developer, residing in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I specialize in crafting unique and immersive gameplay situations, and I have been passionately working on games for over 16 years. I am familiar with all aspects of game production, and have worked to become a jack of all trades. I believe this makes me uniquely qualified to work with and lead interdisciplinary teams.

I am a graduate of the SMU Guildhall Game Development program in Dallas, Texas, where I specialized in Level Design. While there, I worked to stand out above the crowd, and was selected to be Lead Level Designer for our Capstone Team Project “Leviathan”. I was awarded the Guildhall “Jedi” award for excellence in Level Design.

Since then, I have worked on several professional published titles, including “Secret of the Pendulum”, a free-to-play casual Hidden Object game. I am currently helping to develop a Mobile multiplayer strategy game called “Kings Vs. Queens”, which is set to release this year. I have also worked on a tabletop board game (Matt Tolmans “Undermining”) and have participated in 8 Global Game Jams to date. I am an active member in the game development community in Calgary, participating in and helping to organize meetings, giving demos and tutorials on a variety of technologies, and building connections throughout the industry.

Thank you for your interest.
