About Me

Hey, I’m Izzy! I’m a technical designer working at Secret Door in Orange County. I come from a family of educators, and have always been interested in games, and creating worlds. As a developer, I’m passionate about solving problems that exist at the cross-section of game system design and gameplay engineering- and beyond that, I’m interested in the types of unique experiences that can EXCLUSIVELY be manifested by focusing on the opportunities in that space!

One of my biggest goals in working in games is increasing access to game development, particularly for low income and historically disadvantaged groups. Game design is an amazing form of expression, and can open a lot of doors into growing industries. I’ve worked with CS educational programs and educational game companies, and in the future hope to be even more involved with outreach. My greatest dream is to create games that can inspire the imaginations of young people the same way that the games I played inspired me.
