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.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. I’m especially interested in gameplay, narrative, and level / environmental design. Outside of games, I like to take pictures of bugs and write intricate fantasy stories.
My Work
I like to write about paranormal and urban fantasy subjects among other things; I am always daydreaming about my own sprawling story threads and figuring out ways to weave them together. 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.
