I am an aspiring video game developer, digital artist, and freelance creative writer. I endeavor to bring eloquent experiences present within literature to video games. From dystopian to realistic fiction, I dwell within the realms of fantasy while grounding viewers in reality that empowers them to bring change among themselves or others. The power of imagination is vast, and to use this imagination to inspire will be something I will forever be grateful for.
