Off the clock, things I love

01 · Lore

World building

I absolutely love creating fully developed and realized worlds with their own languages, religions and lore. I also love creating detailed characters, with rich backstories, beliefs and traditions.

02 · Craft

Digital art & animation

I dig experimenting with color and depth to create interesting compositions. I also like animating and experimenting with new 2.5D rigs in After Effects.

03 · Play

Gaming

One of my all-time favorites is the Metal Gear Solid series, plus Overwatch and Marvel Rivals. I also own several dozen board games, from Monopoly to Alien: Fate of the Nostromo.

04 · Story

Reading

Fiction is my jam. These days I listen on Audible, but if a book is amazing I'll run out and buy it. Most recently: Circe by Madeline Miller. Super dope.
