Titles
Combat Champions
A fast-paced, first-person shooter where players drive the crowd wild with over-the-top stunts and map-altering destruction.

War Smith
A couch co-op tower defense game created by me and three of my peers under the name Coalescent Studio. I am responsible for all rigging and animation. I also had my hand in all of the gameplay programming (UE4 blueprints). War Smith was released Q1 of 2020 and is free to download on Steam:
Neverboard
This was a VR project that I did contract work for from July 2020 through November 2021. I did VFX and animation work for the Crazy 8 game mode. The work I did can be seen from 0:14 - 0:16: the animation of the 3D suit icons, as well as the suit explosion VFX.
