About Me
Whether it's drawing on a digital tablet or creating pixel art, drawing is one of my favorite hobbies. I also love cooking and creating my own recipes to experience cuisines my local restaurants might not feature.
Even though most of my time is spent working on my projects, I still enjoy playing games whenever I can. I have a deep fascination for game design and believe that experiencing a wide variety of games and genres is the best way to understand games more. I love playing fresh new indie releases to old school classics, with some of my favorite games in recent years being Disco Elysium, Lies of P, and Street Fighter 6.
