CreativeCoy is my personal studio for building worlds: games, illustrations, and stories shaped by survival and transformation. My work pulls from my fine-arts background (MICA), my game-art and production training (Full Sail), and a lifetime of fascination with creatures, folklore, and the strange edges of the world.

This was not an easy path, though. A few years ago I had a medical crisis that upended everything which was an allergic reaction to a spinal implant that nearly killed me. I lost my freelance career, my stability, and had to rebuild my life from the ground up after the plate was finally removed five years after it was put in. That period should have ended everything, but instead it became the turning point.

That’s why my studio carries the koi-to-dragon emblem. In old stories, a koi swims against the current, climbs the waterfall, and becomes a dragon. It doesn’t do this because it’s chosen, or special, or destined. It does it because it refuses to stop swimming. CreativeCoy exists because I didn’t stop either. The name uses "Coy" because it sounds like "Koi" but means Shy and Playful, so the name is more reflective of myself and a nod to the koi-dragon myth.

CreativeCoy is where I continue that climb. I develop indie games, TTRPGs, and offering consulting for other creators who can benefit from my years working in the VFX/Game dev the industry. This is a small studio, but it’s honest, handcrafted, and built with the stubbornness of someone who survived more than they should have.
