I am a game designer, artist, and teacher based in Chicago. This is my portfolio and internet home, featuring games, 3D art, animation, and teaching work spanning 2005 to the present.

A puzzle platformer for PC, Mac, and PS4. I created all the art for this game, working with MagicalTimeBean. Available on Steam.
A one-of-a-kind adventure where you jetpack through subterranean Mars encountering alien lifeforms. I was lead artist at Tiger Style, building the world in a proprietary engine. Available on iOS, Android, and Steam.
I have taught game design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (Experimental Game Lab) and Columbia College Chicago. I gave a talk at GDC 2015 titled "Drawing Between the Lines" on the value of constraints, and spoke at the Games-Based Learning Virtual Conference 2024 on learning through friction and boundaries.
My portfolio includes 3D environment art, character animation, concept art, and illustrated game assets across more than fifteen years of professional work. Prints of selected work are available at Inprnt.
