an ongoing archive of all my past projects and work

hey everyone!


it's been a bit! I've been deep in the rabbit hole of the last few terms at Gnomon creating my demo reel. My two years of learning has led me to creating these three projects: the abandoned prison, samurai in geisha's clothing, and a cyberpunk alley. Each project focused on something slightly different, but ultimately the goal was to bring a world to life and tell a story within that environment. Now that I'm finished with school and graduating next week, I'm happy to share my completed demo reel with you! I've learned so much over these past two years and am so excited to see where the future will take me. :)




And that's a wrap! Here's my final project for my VFX for Games 2 class. I wanted to create something original this time. So I created a magical meteor seed that would create plants after it landed on the planet. A sort of 'seed of life'. Definitely had a ton of fun with this one :)


(and yes, I realize the seed looks like a cadbury cream egg. I didn't notice it at first but then I grew to love it hahahha)



Holy sh!t, is it really the end of the term? It's been a crazy term, let alone a crazy two years. Time really flew faster than I could have imagined. While I'm wrapping up my demo reel (also holy sh!t), I figured I would share a little game study I created out of one of my final pieces. This was a fun exploration of level design, blueprinting, vfx, lighting... basically everything all packaged into one. So here's a quick run-through of an escape room game based in the abandoned prison I created for my demo reel. Enjoy!
