As a child, I had a very vibrant imagination. I would read stories about dragons, magic, and heroes; I would recreate these stories in childhood games and artwork. My father bought my brothers and me a Nintendo 64, and my love for video games began. Video games, art, and stories have strongly influenced my life. As I grew older, my brother suggested I use my talents and passion for video games to be a designer. At the time, I did not think much about the subject. I decided I did not want to waste my talents and that I would be a game designer.
