Games & Experiments

Before building AI products, I spent years building games.

From game mechanics and engine systems to level design, visual identity, user experience, and go-to-market execution, these projects were designed, built, launched, and promoted from scratch.

Horror games, mobile apps, interactive events, and experimental experiences. One creator, start to finish.
