Writer, Designer, Storyteller.
About Me
I’ve loved games all my life, and I was determined at a young age to make some myself. So it makes sense that I became an expert storyteller, writer, and designer, with experience in QA, audio, UI/UX, design, and writing.
Portfolio
Throughout my career, I’ve learned about every aspect of game development, from designing sound effects and UI elements to crafting grand narratives told in open worlds. I’m always making games on my own as well. I’ve developed and shipped 5 small games, and I am currently working on a larger solo project for publication on Steam and current consoles.
Professionally, I’m an expert writer and video editor. I’ve edited dozens of video reviews, and I’ve written over 700 articles across various websites, helped ship 3D narrative adventure title Bean Sidhe and 2D Rogue-like Treasure Cavern, and interviewed developers across the globe. I’ve even begun working on two fantasy novels.

Narrative Designer (Hobby/Volunteer)
2025-2026
I've always been bursting with ideas for games, but I wanted to learn how a studio environment would format those ideas for use in actual AAA game development. It was a difficult but rewarding process and taught me a ton. I learned how to both take charge in certain settings and how to work well as a small part of a team. Most importantly, though, I learned how to take criticism of my work and implement feedback from veteran narrative designer, Kelly Bender (Assassin's Creed Odyssey, The Walking Dead Survivors, etc.).
For this narrative project, I wanted to try bringing one of my dream games to life: DragonDragoon, a fantasy RPG that takes place in a somewhat modern day world. The game also features rhythm elements, and I used that as a core theme in the dialogue and character designs, focusing on a modern style inspired by street art, casual fashion, and various kinds of music and dance.
