About
Ni howdy!
My name's Jet and I'm currently a graduate student at Savannah College of Art and Design pursuing an MFA in the Interactive Design and Game Development program.
I was born in Fujian, China and immigrated to the U.S. when I was just 2 years old. I've lived in New York City and Philadelphia, but mostly grew up in a little town in Ohio.
My love for video games started when I was gifted a second-hand coral pink Nintedo DS Lite on my 10th birthday. A singular game cartridge came with the console: 'Hannah Montana.' Now, I wouldn't say that game was the one that changed my life, but the journey's gotta start somewhere, right?
I'm currently aiming to become a prop and environment modeler, but genuinely am interested in every art-aspect that goes into creating games. Whether that be UI design or cutscene animation, I have a genuine passion for all the various artforms that goes into creating games!
