About Me
Justin is a skilled game developer, 2D/3D artist, and well-rounded professional with experience in everything from character and environment design, programming to project management, marketing, collaboration, and more. Despite his broad skill set and real-world experience, he is always seeking to grow and learn further, honing his skills and creating connections. His goal at GameU remains the same – to use those varied skills not only to advance his own projects, but also to help others achieve their dreams.
In his spare time, Justin loves to draw, play video games, and make music!
