Alayna Wilson

My name is Alayna Wilson, and I recently graduated summa cum laude from UT Dallas' game design program. I value working efficiently until I achieve my goals and strive to go beyond the basic requirements for each project. I have been pursuing art and design for as long as I can remember, and I hope to use the skills I have built up over the years to bring your design ideas to life.
