CG Spectrum is helping me grow as a game designer and as a person.
My mentor, Andrejs Verlis, has shown me how to think about design and bring ideas into concrete systems, and through our conversations we’ve become friends. Both my mentor and the Dept. Head, Troy Dunniway, have been so encouraging and empowering. It doesn’t even feel like school. I’m finally seeing so many of my interests culminate, and I’m excited to leverage the great networking and career development here for a beautiful future.
