Art and Illustrations
|
In high school I originally wanted to go to art school so I could work in animation and gaming.
I worked very hard and got accepted at Canada's top gaming/animation program, but ended up choosing business school to keep my parents happy. Luckily I was able to find a new passion in UX (I sometimes even dream about UX...) near the end of my degree. I still really enjoy drawing in my spare time though(if I am not playing games). |

Games
|
I love board games that can be taught within 5 minutes so I can introduce them to people who might not play board games often. Some of my favourite go-tos are Splendor, Bohnanza, and Blockus. My more intense games are still wrapped and waiting for the perfect crew to patiently learn them with me.
I am a druid with a fat cat in my weekly DnD group. We play online through FantasyGrounds as we all live so far away. I also play many digital games and between my partner and I we have one of each gaming system, a VR setup and too many computers in the house. Something that really fascinates me is UX design for VR as well as Cloud Gaming Platforms. TexasGreenTea on YouTube recently started a great series on Sci-Fi UI which is really fun and fascinating. |
I mean look how cool this UI is and the thought that went behind a chapter of Detroit: Become Human. What a game!

Photography
Everyone with a DSLR is getting into photography as a hobby these days, with myself included. In addition to the common travel photography, I like to volunteer my time for friends and charity events that come my way.
