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 medical crisis upended my life, cost me my career and stability, and forced me to rebuild everything from the ground up. What could have ended everything became a turning point where I had to decide whether to give up or keep going. I still, to this day, keep making the same choice. I will persevere.

I share this because the values behind my work are what guide how I collaborate, consult, and create.

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 give up. 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 while also being 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 art and the VFX/Game dev the industry. This is a small studio, but it’s honest, human, and built with the stubbornness of someone who survived far more than they should have.
