Quilted
(2026)


Quilted was a collaboration with Ann-Marie Henderson created for Micro Jam 052, following a ‘winter’ theme and a ‘constantly overworked’ prerequisite.  We wanted to play with the format of a barista or cooking game, but twist it into a new setting, hence the quilt shop!

Tech Turn Up
(2025)
While working for Tech Turn Up at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington, I helped K-5 students create two games: Cookie Drop & Fighting Legends. Because of the students’ age range, I focused less on teaching game development and put more emphasis on game design and asset creation. All art in both games was created by students using traditional media like pencil and marker. All mechanics, thematics, character designs, sound effects, and game titles were proposed/ voted on by students. Music was created by the students as well, using  Chrome Music Lab.

Fly Trap
(2025)


Fly trap was created in collaboration with Luca Gortana for Global Game Jam 2025, following the theme ‘bubble’. I worked on puzzle design, illustrated tilemap assets & built out levels.

Tidebound
(2024)

Tidebound was created by a colleague and me in 10 days for Pirate Software’s 15th Game Jam. I worked on programming, UI, 2D assets, and audio. I also modeled tools (flashlight & shovel). Players must successfully navigate a beach trail in the dead of night as they move towards their lighthouse home. Unfortunately for them, ravenous crabs plague the seashore.






Junk Jam
(2024)

Junk Jam was founded by a colleague of mine as a way to encourage fellow students to repurpose their ‘trash'. In the weeks leading up to the event, we collected reusable materials from different areas on campus and saved our own waste. 

I aided in event coordination/promotion and attended the event as well. It was a lot of fun despite the rain and wind, and some very creative things were made!
Cherry Blossom’s Escape from Hysteria
(2024)

Worked with three colleagues to create a simple shooter game inspired by the theme ‘make me laugh’ for Global Game Jam 2024. My main roles were environment art and development of home/dialogue screens.
