Student Games

As a student at New York University's NYU Game Center from 2014-2018, I developed several games both as a solo developer and in small development teams. Here I cultivated my skills and kindled my passion for using the medium of games to tell impactful personal stories, focusing particularly on 3D games.

Below is a selection of my student games. My most significant student game was my capstone project, a single player walking simulator style game that won an award at IndieCade 2018. Learn more about that game here.
