With a degree in Computer Science and Animation, he enjoys both the technical and artistic sides of creating, and his varied background and expertise has led him into a wide array of hobbies and side-hustles including animating titles sequences for film and television, designing board games, and hosting the game design podcast Someone Should Make This.
