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 an environment and prop modeler, but genuinely am interested in any and every art-aspect that goes into creating games. Whether that be animating or creating custom materials, I have a genuine passion for all the artforms that goes into creating games!
