4 bits about me
With 30 years of experience as an art and production lead in digital advertising, and over 20 years developing games as an independent, I believe in rich interactive experiences and engaging content.
As a creative director, my role has been to focus on flawless designs, intricate details and engaging storytelling while making sure clients and teams are vested and excited about the campaigns.
As a creative strategist, my role has been to connect the creative dots to draw a picture my clients could see themselves and the future of their brands in.
As a game maker, I have designed and built various game worlds and crafted UI to be both immersive and instinctive to use, while collaborating closely with developers to guarantee the smoothest integration of art assets possible.
As a professor, my goal is to pass on the knowledge I’ve gathered during my career while trying to infuse my students with the same passion and energy that I expressed through my work. I am committed on teaching on both sides of the SCAD ARVR and Game Development department and I am as excited by the interactive classes as I am by the gaming classes.
