Experience:
Game Development
Jennifer Wang (Freelance) Jan 2018 - July 2018
I was contracted by Jennifer Wang, Fashion Designer, to help with her then graduate thesis called “Antidote”. She commissioned a VR experience that would ultimately be on the HTC Vive, IOS and Android Google Cardboard. My work consisted in working within a pipeline of Maya>Zbrush>Unity>Vive/IOS/Android. I created all the assets myself, put them into Unity and designed the entire experience with Jennifer’s art direction. To see a youtube video of the experience check out the game dev portion of my site.
