ABOUT ME

Hey, I’m Avery, a game developer and artist based in Saint Louis, Missouri.

Video games have been a part of my life for longer than I can remember, and I have a deep fondness and respect for the medium of digital games. Above all else, I’m dedicated to combining my passion and my technical skills to bring all kinds of weird, wonderful, and authentic experiences to life.

I received my undergraduate degree in Game Design in 2023, with a minor in studio art. In 2024, I received my Master’s in Game Design and Development from Bradley University.

I’m always eager for an opportunity to learn new skills, so I took on a lot of different roles on different projects throughout college. I’ve been a 3D artist, lead programmer, user interface designer, and creative director. This interdisciplinary understanding is a strong suit of mine and has been beneficial while working on teams big and small. I’m able to better communicate with my team members and can easily take on an extra role in a pinch.

When I'm not playing or making games, you can usually find me reading comics, watching horror movies, or hanging out with my bearded dragon.
