By schooling I am a programmer.
By experience I am an artist.
By heart I am a game designer.
I am a Computer Science Major at Carleton College, currently in my junior year. For me, programming is more than just a job and a major-- It is a passion, and a gateway to exploration.
I am most experienced working with Java, Python, HTML, and CSS. I have some experience with Ruby, PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript.
I am a self taught artist, and have been practicing for 9 years. Art has always been the first of my hobbies, and though I have come a long way, I still have a lot to learn.
My main mediums are sculpture, digital, pencil, and copics, but I also work with watercolors, acrylic paint, colored pencils, chalk, and mixed media.
I am currently a novice game designer, but am hard at work at gaining experience, and learning as much as I can. I am in the process of designing a point-and-click adventure game that will show the realities of life with social anxiety. It is currently in the design phase. I have also done work on an rpg game.
Here are some of the things that are happening in my life right now
I am working in the Carleton Archives Department as a student programmer. This means I am writing various scripts to speed up archives work, working on improving our website, managing a database, as well as a few other projects.
This term I am taking Computability and Complexity, Programming Languages, and Observational Drawing.
I recently got a Huion Gt-190 pen display monitor, and have been expirimenting with learning the new technology.
I am beginning to design a game about the realities of social anxiety. I am also reading several books on game design and game programming, and exploring various mediums and engines for game development.
