Hello! I’m Jessi, a student at the University of Idaho pursuing a B.S. in Virtual Technology & Design with a minor in Computer Science. Originally from Post Falls, ID, I live on campus in Moscow, ID during the academic year. I’m an artist, programmer, and 3D generalist with experience in a wide variety of programs. Thanks for looking at my portfolio—I hope you enjoy viewing my projects as much as I've enjoyed creating them!
I have a passion for storytelling through game design and animation, and I love finding ways to utilize my broad experience to innovate in my creative work.
My favorite part of any project is the problem-solving that comes after the concept design. I love to sit down with an outlandish concept and figure out how to make it work exactly the way I want it to, regardless of technical limitations.
I work best with a team of other passionate creators, and I'm able to fill many roles and pick up new skills on the fly in order to get a project done. I'm always looking for opportunities to gain more experience and learn new tools, techniques, and applications to add to my toolkit.
