About Me
Who I am & What I'm into
white, they/them, mid 30sFriends call me Golden! I'm a part-time writer and freelance illustrator, with a focus on portrait illustration, character art, and design. As a solo game developer, I am especially excited about projects in the field of indie games and visual novels. I love well-made speculative fiction, and I'm an especially big fan of vampires and queer art. My portfolio here showcases some of my favorite works, but I can usually be flexible, incorporating a range of art styles as needed on a project-by-project basis.On my own time, I enjoy hiking and visiting nature trails, spending time with my wife and our two cats, reading, and (of course) playing video games.
