@LinRocketAdrift
As a WOC artist and designer, I started my journey in the Seneca College Independent Illustration program where I met Titus and Sloane.
From there I worked with the two on various creative projects since 2014. In 2016, I learned how to animate, write and promote the team's animated projects on YouTube and social media.
After these projects, when the team decided to pivot to video game development, I dove into learning coding and game design as well as PR and marketing for indie studios.
Now I work full time for the studio as character artist, animator, writer and marketing lead.

With his experience in coding, game design and animation Titus was able to introduce and teach all the creative tools and software the team needed to create several animated series and two visual novel games.
He is also the main writer and game master on our actual play podcast Dark Future Dice, providing entertaining mysteries and deep philosophical questions throughout narratives set in the sci-fi world of the Cyberpunk Red tabletop role-playing game.
