RESUME

Profile 

Self-taught and relentlessly curious, I’ve built a career across game design, XR development, and graphic design by teaching myself the tools and pushing ideas into reality. With 7+ years of hands-on experience and an Innovation Award to my name, I thrive at connecting disciplines — blending storytelling, design, and technology into experiences that feel alive.

I’ve shipped projects ranging from VR educational worlds to narrative PC games and brand design campaigns, proving I can adapt fast, learn what I don’t know, and deliver with impact. My strength is not in following one lane, but in bringing together creativity, design, and tech into something unique.
