Aspiring to be an environment artist at a AAA studio that pushes innovation (with particular interest in the Xbox Game Studios family).
In 2007, Halo 3 launched and became one of the most memorable gaming experiences of my life. I loved the game so much I told myself, one day I'm going to make a Halo game. Unfortunately, I ended up going to business school instead with the plan to take over the family company. 3 years into the program I made the life decision to transfer programs in an effort to instead follow my dreams of being creative. I instead got a BFA in Game Design & Development and became an environment artist!
