EGD Collective
2024-2025
• EGD is an art collective based out of New York City, hosted by CUNY. Their mission is to prepare students and graduates for a career in Game Development via group projects. This past year, we've been working on a third-person, rogue-like/beat-em-up style game.IGDA
2024-2025
• I joined my local chapter of the International Game Development Association in mid-2024, and have been attending meetings every month ever since. It's a wonderful resource for artists looking to meet other creatives, designers, musicians, and more.
Recently, our IGDA chapter hosted a one-month game jam where I worked with a group to create an aquatic-themed heist game in the Unreal Engine. It's been a wonderful Networking opportunity thus far, and I'm quite excited to see where it takes me next.Pollinator

• Pollinator is an art residency that I was invited to through EGD. It is a 5-week program planned for October 2025, and will have me paired up with 6 other creatives to work on a multimedia project that will allow our team to develop new skills and network with other talented individuals.
