I’m an Art Director and Creative Lead with over a decade of experience shaping the visual identity of award-winning educational games. At Age of Learning, I shaped the look and feel of hundreds of titles across platforms including ABCMouse, My Math Academy, Adventure Academy, and the Logical Thinking Project. My work spans from designing characters, backgrounds, and UI to directing teams of artists and animators, always with the goal of making complex subjects fun and approachable for young learners. Whether leading style development or getting hands on with animation and compositing, I focus on building playful, engaging worlds that bring education to life.

The Roze Case

The Roze Case is a mystery RPG that I solely designed and developed, showcasing my skills in storytelling, art direction, and game design. By blending immersive narrative choices with challenging puzzles in a beautifully stylized world, I created a compelling player experience that balances atmosphere and engagement without relying on horror tropes. This project highlights my ability to lead the entire creative process from concept and visual design to narrative and interactive gameplay. I have a deep passion and expertise in bringing innovative, player-driven stories to life. The Roze Case offers a meaningful, memorable gaming experience that captivates and resonates with diverse audiences.
