What I do

I am a passionate mobile game designer with a keen interest in community driven narratives and social mechanics. I work best in a team environment and my multidisciplinary background allows me to fulfil a plethora of roles as well as approach problems from a wholistic standpoint. Never one to settle for mediocrity, I always strive to explore and test novel ideas in order to achieve the best possible outcomes.

How I do it

For my projects I mainly use Unity 3D as the game engine. I like to program in C# and my preferred 3D graphics software is Maya. I am also proficient in Photoshop and Illustrator.

Reagan made a tremendous impact to our Ogmento team, bringing a unique mix of creativity and technical expertise to our games.

His creativity helped improve the overall design, artistry and “fun factor” of our NBA and Halo titles, while his engineering ability and “outside the box” thinking helped ground our ambitious Augmented Reality projects into immersive user experiences.

Not to be overlooked, his dedication and work ethic in completing tasks and assignments, often well ahead of schedule, made him indispensable to my project. Reagan is truly a secret weapon and would be a huge asset to any production team lucky enough to have him!

Reagan is a rock star!! I was very impressed with his game design/development early on, and had to work with him. Reagan played an integral role with the design / development of several of Ogmento’s mobile games (NBA, Halo, etc). Reagan produced a fantastic concept/marketing video forour OBOTO project, which shaped the design tone and feature set for that app. Reagan went on to design a great deal of art and UI for the actual app, as well.

Reagan understands the game space well, and embraces emerging platforms and mechanics. This puts him at an advantage in todays rapidly evolving digital space. He is a great team player, who also brings new and viable ideas to the table.

I hope to work with Reagan again in the near future.

In a small team, having a wide toolbox of skills and knowledge is invaluable – especially in a field where solutions to problems can usually be solved in several different ways. Apart from his work, Reagan was a great addition to the studio culture – always positive and enjoyable to work with, another very important quality to bring to any team and on a tough project.
 
Although we’d plunged ourselves into the deep-end by undertaking such a task, our best move was in bringing Reagan onto the team as early as possible. It made all the difference in pulling the work together and delivering a stunning app that’s still flying off the shelves today. We’re really proud of the app and it’s been a fav in our portfolio for quite sometime. We look forward to hopefully working with Reagan again in the near future.
