About Me

Toby Liu is a sophomore from Gaithersburg, MD studying Immersive Media Design at the University of Maryland. His interests include digital art, illustration, game development, and nature.  He aims to combine his passion for art as well as video games to create a narrative that will make a positive impact on the industry.  He has been taking on freelance art commissions for 4 years, creates art content, and gained a following on social media.  After graduating with a bachelor's of science in Immersive Media Design, he plans to build connections and work as a programmer and game designer in the gaming industry, while also doing digital art on the side.

As a College Park Arts Scholar, Toby intends to broaden his knowledge in coding, as well as incorporating art into his projects.  He is excited to take full advantage of the opportunity to learn about art careers from guest artists, as well as any other guest speakers that will be presenting.  He also looks forward to attending field trips to explore the arts within his new community of College Park, MD.   He also hopes to make meaningful, lasting connections at UMD, and help the community in any way.  His academic goals include developing indie games on his own, as well as gaining enough knowledge to enter the industry and thrive.
