What are you doing now?

I freelance and work on Classroom Aquatic.

 

How would you describe your experience at UCLA Game Lab?

I feel like the Game Lab really encourages games a as form of self expression. Many of the experimental projects created here challenge conventional gaming wisdom.

What did you find valuable at UCLA Game Lab? What did you learn during your time here?

I love the diversity of people and the creative energy at the Game Lab. Its energizing to be in a community where unconventional games are being created. Our cultural zeitgeist on gaming is dying. Games can be anything.

 

What would you tell other prospective students about UCLA Game Lab?

You should come in willing to have your paradigm challenged on what a game “should” and “shouldn’t” be.

What do you want to do in the future?

Not sure really. I’m still figuring everything out. Currently I’m working on the creative design and art for Classroom Aquatic. The game should be released later this year.
