The Day After (the Apocolypse)
"That end of the world party last night was a banger, but you don't remember any of it. Retrace your steps by hopping into the memories of partygoers who wiped out to figure out what happened last night and where the hell your airpod went."
This game was developed in Unity 3D for the PIG Squad 2-Week July Game Jam 2023 by me, Jose Pacio, Oliver Abate, Matthew Grinnell, and Cassandra Skanes. We all collaborated on the design of the gameplay, and I also worked on 3D modeling, animation, and writing.

Tank Arena
A fast-paced game where players dodge the incoming bullets from enemy tanks and fire back to achieve the highest score possible before taking too much damage!
This game was designed and constructed by me in Unreal Engine 5 as part of my graduate research project at UIUC in Summer 2024. My goal was to create something that could be used as a tutorial project for students in UIUC's CS 415 Game Development class. It prioritizes the use of clean, efficient blueprints that demonstrate a range of common game design elements such as blueprint classes, player motion, object collisions, and HUD design.
Untethered

Originality Concerns
A 3D animated film telling the story of a student who is struggling with frustration over her inability to be “creative” or “original”. Her perception of the work of her classmates makes her increasingly upset, eventually causing her to lash out at others and also sabotage her own work. The project is fully designed, animated, and edited by me.
This is currently a work in progress, but you can watch the Storyboard Reel here!
