Aquarium Animals

What is the last room you always end up in at an aquarium? The gift shop of course! Kids go up and down the shelves filled with plushies and toys of all the aquatic animals they just met, except the baskets are full of… pink penguins and tye-dye colored stingrays? There are plenty of colorful creatures in the sea to choose from, but aquariums would rather display these inaccurate animals to attract attention. Starting from a silly school project and turning into a large series of aquarium plushies, Aquarium Animals has a goal of designing fun yet accurate likeliness of unpopular animals that don’t really have any representation in this market of fluffiness.

Games

Before settling into toy design, I worked on a lot of game jams and game design classes. My games may be small, but 10 years ago I never would have imagined that I would be doing this.

dantalion

A rhythm/visual novel game I helped create in a team with 2 other people. I created concept art, music, and lead the project. Dantalion is a game about a group of fallen-out friends who got invited to play at the exclusive Dantalion festival, with an enticing prize of $50,000.

Midnight Manor

A twist on the arcade classic PAC-MAN. I worked in a team with three other people to create Midnight Manor, a game where you play as Patrick "Pat" Namco as you wander the halls of an old mansion, with persistent ghosts chasing you. I was responsible for creating concept art, music, sound effects, and play testing the game.
