Early Godot prototype

I designed the steering, underwater habitats, and adjustable pace, sound, and visual detail. This early prototype explores configurable play; it is a design study, not a clinically validated treatment.

My Creative Philosophy

Worlds worth exploring

I like building places that make me wonder who lived there, and characters that look like they belong. I work from blockout through materials and animation, refining how everything looks and feels in play.

My favorite projects bring environments, creatures, and props together into a world worth exploring.
