My Creative Life
When I think of video games, my first thought always goes to the feelings the story provides. That part of games, where you get transported through sound and art, is what I love and strive to make. I find myself thinking about these things without me even noticing. I compose and sound design to take the viewer into that world like they are truly there, breathing the same air.
​
Growing up in the Midwest, no one around me usually went into this line of work. With not much to do as a kid, I often found myself playing with consoles and getting lost into those late nights. Now, I take that passion with me into my art, which I plan to show to all. Throughout this creative path, I'm will always find more ways to bring out these emotions through any art I can get my hands on, so keep an eye out for my future work!
