Designer and developer studying CS and Game Design at Georgia Tech, with a minor in Industrial Design. I create immersive experiences by combining art, technology, and storytelling.

Currently interested in 3D modeling and product design, looking for hands-on experience through an internship. In my free time I enjoy sketching, photography, and playing games with friends.
