Personal
When not creating art for work I often end up creating art for fun as well – I have a variety of personal projects and stories in development. I spend the rest of my free time playing videogames, especially narrative-heavy games and games with deep gameplay mechanics. I also enjoy creating putting my creativity into physical art in the form of costumes and props.
