about me

Hey, I'm Joseph! I'm from Maryland and I'm working on "Mind Garden," my hand-drawn story game!

When I'm not coding or drawing, I'm often exploring national parks with my dog, or diving into games like Animal Crossing and Zelda.

Currently a student at Calvert Hall College High School (class of 2027!) with a 4.0 weighted GPA.
