Art has been my language since childhood, and by the time I was ten I knew I wanted to make video games after playing my first PC game, Quake III Arena. I had been exposed to the NES much earlier, but it never clicked, I always drifted back to LEGO. But 3D game worlds were different they sparked a paradigm shift that changed the entire trajectory of my life. I became fascinated with the potential they offered and the sense of possibility they unlocked. That passion never left me. I’ve always been fascinated by how art and technology can come together to spark imagination, and that curiosity drives everything I do. Beyond creating, I enjoy sharing what I learn and helping other artists grow, because I believe creativity is best experienced together.
