Lost Legacy The original website was made using an old developer program which was a mess in the code so I recreated it from scratch on my own. The site needs at the bare minimum, a page to teach players the game, links to download rule documents, and a store to purchase the game. I've also included a gallery of images for the cards so that new players can discover what the game holds as well as look up information or individual rulings.

The client wanted a simple web page without the need for additional links. The page includes information about the products they sell, locations they are sold at, and a way to contact them for special orders.

This is the box for the Lost Legacy card game which was for the Kickstarter project. I was in charge of the design which needed approval through the games current producer which at the time was Game Salute. The front displays several major characters that showcase the variety the game holds to attract the customer. The vibrant purple colors on the sides were chosen to help the logo stand out.

The original back design was a bit too bright and busy according to Game Salute so I had it darkened up and changed the font for the main description in the back to not look so fancy.

This drawing was for a game named Cardception where we needed a back to the deck of cards that gave a different impression depending on who was viewing it. The optical illusion would look like a flower when viewed by one player or a skull when viewed upside down. I had to flip the image constantly and started with the skull side first. The original had color but that was desaturated as it took away from the final impact depending on which side was being viewed.

I had always been fascinated by caves filled with treasure which is why this drawing came to be. It is outside of my usual style, but that didn't make it challenging. I constructed the lamp first starting with the a solid object and chipping away at that until I got the desired shape. I added the small chain last that connects the lid to the lamp.

One coin was drawn and duplicated then set into different locations. The stone clumps in the background were created in a similar way and each are modified so they look different. I wanted the water to almost look magical as well which is why it almost appears to glow. I had to make sure to add the lamp reflection in the water as well as some blue glow and a warped shine to the bottom of the lamp.

Sonic the Hedgehog was my childhood hero so I had to draw him as a tribute to my passion for what he brought to my life. This scene is familiar to those who play the original game as it is the first time he encounters Robotnik that uses a simple ball and chain to try and smash him with. I wanted a unique view which brought you closer to the action with Robotnik overhead trying to catch him. This is drawn in my more traditional style which starts with regular pencil on paper for the characters. After uploading to the computer I would color them in and recreate the background to match the rest. The entire process would take about 2 hours for line art, 2 hours for coloring and shadows, and 11 hours on the background, effects, and final touches.

The Slydyrz puzzle is a two player game I created where players must move pieces that are forced to slide until they hit a wall or another object. The winner is whichever player can get any one piece into the center square first. Players must learn how to build by moving the pieces as well as disrupt their opponent's progress in the process.

The application was created using visual basic. The game pieces calculate where they are in relation to others to determine where the piece will end up while moving. It was for a final project in my intro to coding course which allowed us to make whatever program we wanted so I felt like being a bit more creative. It is functional allowing players to take turns, however the win condition screen was never finished and it could use other improvements such as sound effects, music, and displaying which players turn it currently is.

I would love to make improvements on it one day or perhaps release a version for mobile, however it would require either 2-player support or an AI to play against. When I take the time to learn these techniques, I can guarantee I will return to this project once more.

I created this application for a school assignment in Visual Studio. It uses SQL statements to perform tasks that directly modify an Access Database document with user friendly buttons and tools. I found myself enjoy SQL and database management more than I expected and look forward to using these techniques to add inventory management systems to my websites and applications in the future.

We needed to create a high quality video that would show new players the rules to the game. It had to be clear and quick, no more than 10 minutes. We originally recorded the footage with a camera, but found it difficult to clearly see the cards or action at all times. Since clarity was most important, the decision was made that for this project using still images and changing them out with the pacing of the audio would be best. I wrote a script that my friend read out and changed the images to match. The copyright free music also had to be edited to loop correctly for the duration of the video which I did as well.

I've worked in nearly every department in the Meijer stores including grocery, inventory, customer service, with some training for bakery and the gas station. I've also completed a 6 week training course for leadership roles in the company.

Customer service and satisfaction is my specialty.
