About Me
Howdy, I'm Steven, an aspiring Game Designer who strives to create the best possible games for others to enjoy! As a senior Game Design major at Champlain College expected to graduate in May 2026, I love to bring others joy while collaborating with teams to create fun experiences!
If you can name a game, chances are I will know some random facts about it. "Let's make games!" is my way of saying let's make an impact on the world, and that is exactly what I intend to do!
