Designer, writer, scholar
About Me
I’m a graduate game designer currently residing in Chicago, IL. I love exploring the affordances of games, especially regarding player choice and emotional impact. I want to hook the player into the story and make sure they walk away with something at the end of it. I’m especially interested in experience design, narrative design, game writing, and level / environmental design. Outside of games, I like to take pictures of bugs and write intricate fantasy stories.
My Work
As a designer, I’m very interested in systems, mechanics, and player experience. I want to connect with my audience in new and novel ways. As a writer, I’m focused on delivering engrossing narratives with emotional impact and memorable characters.
Skills and Software
Give me a few days to figure out new software and I’ll hit the ground running. I’m the most familiar with Unity, though I have a lot of experience in Unreal Engines 4 and 5. I know my way around Autodesk Maya, and I’m just starting to learn Blender.
