The Fish and Game project is a series of VR experiences designed to teach children and adults new to hunting about hunter safety. Funded nationwide by various states' Fish and Wildlife departments, the user is taught how to properly handle firearms, how to hunt certain game, ethical vs unethical hunting practices, and more while immersed in a virtual environment. This project was concluded in June 2025, and is up for download on SideQuest.
My work on this project included making definitive design choices, creating 3D assets and UI elements, facilitating client meetings, and managing the art team to ensure that all assets are consistent, accurate, and on time.
Includes Tutorial Animations, UI Assets, Black Bear Model, Moose Model Fixes, Grouse, Mule Deer, and Moose Model Markups, and Various Posters.

Gods and Shadows is a pixel art JRPG developed by GIMMWorks in collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for Brycen Wiscombe, a 15 year old with leukemia. The game follows a storyline written by Brycen, where a group of heroes traverse the map to protect their people and search for answers about the strange powers of their world. This project still has many developments that could be made, but the current version is available for download on Itch.IO.
My work on this project included concepting what the game would look like visually, designing the characters and tilemaps, managing the art team to ensure that all assets were consistent, and working with Brycen to make sure that his vision was being followed.
Includes Concept Art, Tilemap Assets, Character Animations, and Gameplay Screenshots.

Rat Royales is a 3D shooter created, developed, and designed by myself. This game project was an assignment that was built upon among many classes, over the course of two and a half years. The player traverses a deep forest map as a rat collecting cheese, while avoiding and killing cats . The player is equipped with a gun made of twigs that shoots acorns to defend themselves, and the map is scaled up to give the illusion of just how small you would be as a rodent. The game is time and score based, with the player trying to collect as much cheese as possible before the timer runs out, or before they get caught by a cat.
My work on this project included writing, designing, and developing the entire game, with only a few assets being used from the Unity Asset Store and some sounds being sourced elsewhere.
Includes Game Screenshots, Concept Art, 3D Models, and Original Concepts and Designs.

Microchip Makers is both an immersive VR experience and an animated music video designed to teach children about the process of creating semiconductors and computer chips. Funded through Micron and Boise State University, the VR game takes the user through a clean room, factory, and minigame to explain the process of computer chip production in a fun and engaging way. The music video paired with the game is designed to be a fun and catchy way to remember the process, and stick in childrens' minds.
My work on this project included designing the characters, helping out with certain scenes of the animation, and overall making sure that the art team was on track with character designs, backgrounds, and accuracy of information.
Includes Original Character Sheets and Animatied Scenes.

The Bunny Who Lost His Tail is a storybook prototype app written and designed by me. The story was originally created when I was in first grade, but was reimagined and re-illustrated for a class project. The app is simple, with interactive buttons that allow the user to flip the pages and read the story. I still have the original book I made, so it was really cool and exciting for me to embrace my inner child and breathe new life into something I remember being so proud of.
My work on this project included rewriting the story, redesigning and illustrating the characters, and prototyping the app to create a simple and easy to use interface.
Includes Pages from the Story.
Created with Adobe XD, Clip Studio Paint, and Restored by Figma.
