I began studying art a year ago to enhance my skills in concept art and refine my ability to visualize unique styles for game development. My artistic inspiration is heavily influenced by Japanese anime, which informs my approach to character and environmental design. Since starting my degree, I have developed a strong passion for pixel art, drawing creative influence from games such as Stardew Valley, Terraria, Omori, and Undertale.

I began Programming in highschool making use of scratch to design little projects and HTML to learn the basics of web design. I later moved onto to using SQL for database management and Java for general coding. This knowledge of programming help me gain the upper hand when studying at Vega School as we had moved onto using C# for game programming. I aim to have learnt C++ by the end of this year as to make use and fully utilize the power of the Unreal engine 5 game engine
