Worldbuilding
Path of Kami has such a special place in my heart. I immensely enjoyed working on this beautiful game from early production to finish. I reveled in painting the watercolor textures, modeling the stylized props, and putting together these breathtaking environments. I am so thankful to have been able to be a part of such an open team that allowed me the creative freedom to research, conceptualize, and create props and areas from scratch. I particularly enjoyed the challenge of doing a lot with a little and finding unique ways to repurpose props from area to area.
