I'm a senior in high school right now- I don't usually talk about my age when discussing my work because I think it lowers people's expectations of what types of products I can deliver. I made my first video game at the age of 13 and I've been studying and practicing game design 30 hours a week for the past 5 years. Normally younger people in the industry don't have the experience to deliver evocative (if even functional) products. I've dedicated myself fully to game design through and I feel confident that I can deliver emotionally resonant gaming experiences.

If you want to see my previous work (can't say I'm too proud of anything before Yuma Will Burn lol) you can check out my itch(dot)io page, the open-world action-adventure game I tried to make in my Freshman year is good for a laugh.
