Projects

About
I'm just a regular everyday normal motherfucker
— Jon Lajoie, Everyday Normal GuyI am currently finishing my Bachelor of Arts in Game Design & Development and have learned a broad range of fundamentals along the way.
I work best independently or in small teams. I still have things to learn when it comes to working with people, and that is something I want to keep improving. I like direct, honest and respectful communication.
