​

My experience creating games started when I was 8 when I began making iterations of card games. When designing I would change things from what each card did, the number of cards dealt, or how you won. No matter what it was I was seeking to make it better. Time passed and I eventually learned that making video games wasn't something only millionaires could do... maybe I could do it too? ​

​

To me, making games is not simply about creating fun experiences, although that's certainly important, what I seek to do is make games that change the player and the industry. It's all about creating that "wow" factor, the moment the player stops in the middle of a fight to appreciate the beauty of a game. I believe it is possible for a game to transcend the concept of  "game" and shift into something new, worthy of a category of its own. It is these exciting experiences that define a game and distinguish it from bad games.

​

Game Design is not something I approach lightheartedly. Every choice has some impact on a player, it could be a micro change, such as armor color, or a macro change that completely shifts the meta. Everything should be approached with careful thought. Every decision should constantly be critiqued and questioned whether it helps improve the player's experience. 

​

Ultimately, if I do nothing else I seek to create games that players will enjoy and grow to love the same way I grew to love games.
