Hello! In one form or another, I’ve been writing for the past 10 years. Creatively, I’ve done everything from short stories to full-length video game scripts. I’ve drafted 36 grants for healthcare and community centers and secured over $4 million in grant funding. My educational background is in science, and I’ve authored academic papers, scientific grants, and public-at-large science and history articles. Whatever I’m writing, my only goal is to make sure it reaches the highest quality possible, and everything I do is 100% grammatically correct and error-free. I’ve worked in enough fields to appreciate that every client is different and every job is unique. I put a lot of emphasis on making sure I understand exactly what you are looking for before beginning work, and I am active in seeking feedback and maintaining contact throughout the entire lifespan of the project. If you’re looking for a writer, I can help you with: • Creative writing (fiction, scriptwriting, non-linear dialogue, story planning) • Grant writing • Academic journal publications • Technical writing • News articles • Blog posts • Copywriting • Game design documents • Editing (creative and technical) For editing work in particular, as a writer, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to submit your work for review. I also understand how frustrating it can be to have an editor push for changes that are way beyond the practical scope of a late-stage project. I always communicate with clients beforehand to get an honest idea of the scope of changes that are feasible, and I work hard to deliver all revisions sensitively and with clear reasoning attached. Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. If you’d be interested in working together, don’t hesitate to reach out!Game Design

Greetings to all Upwork clients in search of a skilled 3D Artist and 3D Game Developer. My name is Heaven, and I am here to help bring your creative concepts to life while developing outstanding 3D game experiences. From an early age, I was captivate by the power of 3D art to create immersive worlds. Starting out as a self-taught 3D artist, I spent countless hours mastering modeling software, crafting intricate environments, and designing lifelike characters. However, I wasn't content with just creating visuals. While working as a 3D artist, I realized that the real magic lay is making those worlds interacitve0turning static assets into dynamic, playable experiences. This revelation was the turning point. Driven by a desire to push the boundaries of the creativity, I began exploring game design and development. The transition was far from easy. I immersed myself in learning game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine, while also picking up programming languages such as C# and Python. I realized the need for a stronger technical foundation to tackle more complex projects and stay ahead in the rapidly evolving gaming industry. This decision led me to pursue formal education in computer science, enrolling at Guilford College. As I look to the future, I will remain committed to pushing the boundaries of interactive storytelling and creating games that leave a lasting impact on players.Game Design

I am a recent graduate from Appalachian State University pursuing a degree in computer science and planning to work in the game development field. I would describe myself as creative, goal driven, and a lifelong learner. Computer science in general really appeals to me because I find great satisfaction in solving diverse and challenging problems. Game design embodies an extensive spectrum of problem-solving challenges, demonstrating remarkable diversity even within the rich domain of computer science. Furthermore, game design requires a unique blend of creativity and technical prowess that spans multiple subfields of computer science. Between this and being a life-long gamer, I have been naturally drawn into game development. My most comfortable languages are Java and the C family of languages, but I'm confident in my ability to quickly pick up with any new programming paradigms or languages I haven't seen before.
