About Me

Hiya! I’m a lifelong storyteller who creates and develops immersive products across many types of media: learning experiences, commercial adventure games, interactive visual novels, video campaigns, tabletop games, and even prose fiction. I combine skillsets in game design, project management, narrative design, and creative leadership to make awesome products with teams of awesome people. As you can tell by my use of the word “awesome”, I’m also a Millennial.

My work is emotionally-driven, which means that I craft stories where characters/users argue, reflect, make decisions, and grow (for good or bad) through actions defined by powerful (and often uncomfortable) feelings. Why? Because emotions connect us all, and are highly memorable.

I’m obsessed with Final Fantasy, the Wheel of Time, Agatha Christie, boba, and cats. The world needs more cats.
