  At the University of Texas at Dallas, Game Production Lab is a course designed to provide students with the experience of developing a vertical slice of a video game beta other classmates over the course of a single semester. An alpha version of the demo was produced during the first 8 weeks of classes, and the beta version was worked on for the remaining 8 weeks.

• Art Director at Onomatopoeia

  Onomatopoeia is a student organization at UT Dallas that focuses on improv and student engagement on campus. I served as the art director whose main task is to maintain the public image of the organization. This involves the creation for flyers, video advertisements, and event props for both general meetings and special events.

  Our mission statement is to defeat the apathy of college campus life by hosting stunts and events that bring laughter and engagement to the students and faculty of UTD. Onomatopoeia also hosts weekly Improv Nights encouraging members and other students to participate in student driven improv comedy similar to shows such as "Whose Line Is It Anyway?".
