Quotes

I found out that ‘video game lawyer’ is a job that exists, so I kind of do law within the games industry for the love of it.

I let the watercolor do what it wants, and I like the feeling of it moving in weird ways that animation doesn’t tend to

I’d say that I’m a maker who is disabled. I prefer that. That feels more fitting to me.
