For a summer internship I worked with a dog training company to develop a clicker training game. This game was meant to educate the player on timing required to train their dog with a clicker.
I designed, created the art, and coded the game while working with the Leerburg employees to make sure the game would be as close to the brand as possible. - Game Psychology Research Assistant at University of Wisconsin-StoutMenomonie, USFebruary 2022 - May 2023
