Professional info
I'm a graphic designer and developer. I like to illustrate my projects if given the time. My dream is to help create games (heard that before!). I have a wide range of interests, and therefore a wide range of projects. I have a background in Creative Writing, and I hope to produce a Visual Novel someday - development, art and writing all in one package.
