The possibilities are endless and being able to create whatever you are passionate about is what I enjoy the most.

I am looking towards being a game developer or a user interface designer. I would love the ability to develop a game or experience that would allow people to create exciting and fun memories with others through play. I have also had ideas to open my own web development company.
