Biography
I'm Owen, an aspiring video game producer.
I was born in Toronto before moving to Meaford, Ontario. I have a B.Com. degree from Smith School of Business at Queen's University and CAPM certification from Project Management Institute. I hope to combine my creative skillset with the foundational principles of my business education.
I'm currently working on game development in Unity and Unreal Engine, audio implementation with Wwise and FMOD, and animation pipeline with Maya. With my spare time, I experiment with various traditional instruments to create compositions not tied to game environments.
