PROJECTS

Senior Project – Cazenovia College
Worked under the supervision of a professor and an industry professional to design and execute upon a project demonstrating the skills I’d learned during my time there. Worked on project over the course of about 13 weeks, creating concept art, 3D models, UI mockups, promotional material, posters, and a short trailer for the game concept. A functional demo was also attempted but ultimately didn’t achieve a presentable standard of quality in time.

Senior Showcase – Cazenovia College
Coordinated with a gallery director and a team of 13 classmates to put together an event showcasing our senior projects. I helped develop a brand, name, and unified theme, and collaborated with my peers to plan out all aspects of the event, including the advertising. Individually, I produced a number of posters, decorations, and designs, and assembled a booth that adequately showed off my work to professionals and alumni attending the event.
