Task
My portfolio needed an update
so I made a new site! I decided
to create my own portfolio with a
playful and streamline aesthetic
in mind. I used Bootstrap as my
base and the rest with HTML and
CSS, using Illustrator and
Photoshop for content editing.
Task
Overwhelm is a 2D zombie
strategy game I worked on with
a team of four. I was the
game designer, artist and
animator for this project! I also
worked on the animated video
trailer, using After Effects,
Premiere and Fraps!
Result
The webpage is as it is now,
listed on the sidebar under
“Contact Info”! I’m always
looking to update the site as
new works are completed.
Result
In addition to improving my
game design knowledge, I am
well-versed with the Unity
pipeline and improved my
project management skills.
