A bit about me..

I have years of experience in creating interactive products on most gaming systems since the sega genesis. I have been successful as a project director, creative director, designer, art director, technical art director, 3d artist, 2D artist and animator. As a professor I instructed in game design, 3d animation and interface design. For the past two years I have been focused on developing my own VR title and creating VR user experience studies for Google.
