2016

SHIFT played a pivotal role in 2016 when they funded our trip to Oculus Connect 3. While they didn’t provide direct capital for development, covering the conference expenses gave us invaluable exposure. Attending Oculus Connect connected us with key innovators in the VR space and broadened our vision for future projects. Their support was a stepping stone toward growth and networking.​

​2013

While living in Milwaukee, I won a $10,000 grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation in 2013. With that support, I developed three apps: one was an educational application to assist students, and the other two were games designed to entertain. That experience gave me a solid foundation in app development and creative design.
