About Me
Hi there! I’m a 2D/UI video game artist, currently employed at HitPoint Studios in Hatfield, MA.
For the past 5+ years, I’ve been busy creating shiny art and intuitive user interfaces for games on all sorts of platforms - including Xbox 306, Nintendo Wii and DS, PC, Facebook, and mobile.
I have also dabbled in writing my own games using the Java game library libgdx, as well as Microsoft’s XNA framework. Each project is usually a little prototype in an attempt to learn something new. For example, creating my own UI-toolkit for creating menus and 2D animations, particle emitters, AI pathing, etc.
When not in front of a computer, I like hiking and backpacking in the White Mountains, indoor rock climbing at the local gym, and homebrewing tasty beer. Mmmm beer.

Science!
I’ve got a couple computers running BOINC, donating their CPU time while I’m not busy playing video games and looking at pictures of cats on Reddit.
