Happy launch day!!! Sad to be missing the big day with players while out at GameSoundCon, but stoked for them to be experiencing Castora and all the new content. I'm hoping to post some BTS on the sound design I got to work on over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out :)

Also hello! Sorry I haven't been as active on here. I primarily post via stories on Insta. Life has been crazy...like, absolutely nuts and mostly meh. Work has been great...which feels very backwards to say in the industry right now... I'll be at GameSoundCon this week, say hi!

Got to go to the WuWa concert this last weekend! Always a blast seeing the crazy talented homies perform. Even more fun was getting home at 5am after hanging with peeps at Denny's till 4am after 😂

This was a big day for ArenaNet, and even bigger day for our players! Hope you've been enjoying Code of Creation. I got to contribute sounds for the final 3 bosses of the meta, some of the skills for the final fight of the game, and a handful of other things! Hope to post soon!
The finale of Visions of Eternity is here! Explore Leyspring Hollows, uncover six new story chapters, and face the challenges awaiting in Code of Creation. What are you the most excited for? #GuildWars2 bit.ly/3VtQAlE

Apparently, @falloutonprime is filming in Pomona! Decided to put together a quick display at the library. I blame video games.

And then the next suck will be the impending layoffs. I'm worried about so many friends who may be impacted by this. People with bills, children to feed and care for, etc. This is an awful week for our industry. It's been a rough few years now.

So proud of her 🥹
I've been unemployed since Feb 2025 when I got laid off from Unbroken Studios. I've applied to nearly 300 jobs. Got some interviews, loads of auto rejections, and no offers. I kept wondering what I was doing wrong. Just this past Friday, I finally got my first offer letter.
