EAE Description

I have always thought of myself as creative, critical and competitive. I like to take these attributes into my work and I think they translate well into video game development. I am particularly interested in the production of video games and the presentation. Level design, sound design, game mechanic design and production interest me for the capstone. I find gaming psychology as well as design very interesting, I'd love to play around with those. Particularly, I am strong in the marketing and business side of things. Although I am in the EAE major, I have recently found a passion for marketing and production. I am an experienced leader with experience in the honors college, RHA, ASUU, Greek Council, and other student clubs. In the film department, I have been the team leader in most of my project based classes. At the residence halls, I was recognized for my outstanding work in marketing and programming. Within my fraternity, I set chapter records as VP of Recruitment and I was featured by our national fraternity for my success. As president of my fraternity, I was recognized by the university as Greek Man of the Year for my contributions to the row. In the last year, I have acted as a facilitator at fraternity conferences. I think my leadership experience, my business mind, and my love of video games will translate well to game development. I can handle finances, I can handle advertising, I can hype the games, I can send press releases, I can handle legal work. I also have experience in art, animation, sound, design, testing, and some programming. I have developed these skills by working with my fraternity, by working with an iPhone design studio, by working with an advertising firm, by working as a media/marketing director for the University, by working at a public relations firm and by taking a myriad of production courses. I have the skills to help make a well thought out game with serious polish and I have the skills to produce that game. I want to make a great game and I want to get high sales numbers too. I’m not just a gamer, I love video games.
