Born in 1989 and raised in Ottawa, Ontario. Drawing since the age of eight or nine, programming in one form or another since the age of eleven. Ever since I was young, I always teetered between two answers, when asked the age-old question of "what do you want to be when you grow up?" I would either respond with 'a cartoonist!' or 'a game designer.' As with all children, that has changed - but not by much. Art and programming remain my passions, and I have spent years practicing, and continue to do so in my free time.
I am a second year student, enrolled in both Carleton University and Algonquin College, studying towards a Bachelor of Information Technology, in the stream of Interactive Multimedia Design. I am proficient in the use of HTML, CSS, PHP/MySQL and Javascript, and I am experienced with C/C++, Java and Actionscript. In terms of design applications, I have used Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Dreamweaver (though I prefer to write all website code by hand), Adobe Flash and QuarkxPress, and I am working towards a greater understanding of Autodesk Maya and Pixologic zBrush.
