Favorite Game: Splatoon

Hiya! I’m a 2D artist/animator, UI/UX designer, & programmer. I love character design, worldbuilding, and storytelling in all its forms, especially in games. My favorite games include P5R, Splatoon, Hades, and Psychonauts. Outside dev work, I’m usually drawing fanart, binging webcomics/manga/anime, or committing to the bit. See you around! :3

Major: Computational and Systems Biology

Haai! I'm Sherri, a 3rd year Computational and Systems Biology major. I mostly work on programming in game dev but very occasionally dabble in art. I've done some 3D animation and a bit of pixel art lately. Some of my favorite games include Minecraft, Helldivers 2, and Zenless Zone Zero. In my free time, I like to go rock climbing and make cool origami pieces.
