    Why a game?

    I initially created a standard UX design portfolio, complete with all of the normal industry practices, in a nice, neat Framer template. As I got closer to publishing the site, however, I felt like I could do more. I wanted my personality and story to shine through, and I could think of nothing better than a video game to do so. In the day and age of AI work, I think it is important to connect with what makes us who we are, and voicing that to others is what, to me, makes art feel so special.

    Before I pushed my focus to UX design, I wanted to be a screenwriter. I hope that this work can reflect some of that natural storytelling that has always been so intrinsic to me.

    Each of the characters is an element of what I strive to reflect within my work: the thoughtful, brave nature of the Paladin, the cunning strategy of the Fox, the kind empathy of the Monster, the analytical, calculated nature of the Robot, and lastly, the imagination of the Mage.

    I put my utmost effort into making this site feel like me, so if you liked it, I would be very happy! Keep poking around, as I will be updating it regularly as I have more time to work on it. And once again, thank you for playing!
