What I'm looking for

I seek collaborative roles that blend 3D asset creation, web/VR development, and UX design—projects with creative impact, technical growth, and opportunities to ship immersive experiences.

I am a multidisciplinary artist and developer studying Interdisciplinary Art with a Web Development & Virtual Reality concentration at Tufts SMFA. I combine web and full‑stack development with 3D asset creation to build immersive, performant digital experiences.

In professional roles I have designed and developed 2D and 3D assets for games and digital experiences at The Verse, collaborated with designers and programmers to integrate assets into Unreal Engine, and shipped responsive project websites and outreach materials during a UI/UX internship at California State University, Fullerton.

As a freelancer I have produced multiple high‑fidelity website prototypes and full‑stack implementations, and I create web‑based interactive narrative games that explore mental health themes and have earned 50+ positive user testimonials. I focus on usability, performance, and polished visual storytelling.
