GAME Design

This is the branch I have the most fun working in. I have already taken on the role of Game Designer, Producer and Artist in multiple University and Free-Time Projects.

The branch where I am currently most active. I am a hired Graphic Designer and am able to design printed and digital media from Logos over Flyers / Brochures to physical products.

WEB DESIGN

This is the branch I originally learned. I can design and code websites but I don't find it as fun, that is why I decided to expand into more interactive media such as games and mobile applications.
