​
I grew up in Missoula, Montana, and attended Wellesley College for my undergraduate education. I've done a variety of creative work, including writing, video and graphic art, game design, and 3D modelling.
​
At Wellesley, I learned to tackle every creative project with intention and passion. I had the opportunity to create work that was meaningful to me and could be meaningful to others. In everything I do, I try to tell a story, and storytelling is what drives my interest in film, video games, art, theater, music, and so on (it's a long list). Creating compelling characters and vivid fictional worlds is what gets me most excited. It's also been important for me to embrace creative problem solving in order to bring my concepts into reality.
