HEY THERE! I'M VERNON,

a level designer, game developer, and birdwatcher
who thinks you should click me a few times.

A COUPLE WORDS

Fifteen years ago, I studied biotechnology. However, playing god with living
microorganisms wasn't as much fun as it sounded; pouring clear liquids into
clear liquids never gave me the satisfaction I would find from beating a raid
boss with my friends. This set me on a path to discover why games truly matter,
and how I can repay what games have given me.

Today, I build worlds, both physically and digitally, that use our beloved games
medium to convey stories, teach lessons, and inspire generations. And in
creating systems and spaces that lie outside of the conventions I hold, I am
able to not only surprise myself, but also my peers and my audience.

I once believed that working countless hours towards a cathedral that I would
never live to see was the best I could do, and I'm ecstatic to continue proving
myself wrong.

If you need strategy fiend who can breathe life through level and world design
in Maya, deliver quality results in Unity and Unreal, and be an empathic player
advocate with a cornerstone of UX fundamentals, or just some guy to play late
night Monster Hunter or Minecraft with, don't hesitate to reach out down below!
