My Games

Mixolumia on Switch Executive Golf DX on Playdate

Titles I’ve shipped as an independent developer include the musical falling-block puzzler Mixolumia, the Playdate Season One game Executive Golf DX, and a number of smaller projects.

Collaborations

Across my career, I’ve worked on teams as a UI/UX designer, artist, and graphic designer. My clients have ranged from indies like Strange Scaffold, mid-size studios like Filament Games, and even the behemoth Riot Games. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of contributing to dozens of titles.
