Hi there!
I’m a Game designer with 3 years of experience, 2 shipped games, and a Master's in Game design. My primary focus has been level and narrative design, but I love all things game design, and I’ve touched on combat, systems, balance, and optimization during my career.
I have a strong technical background in computer science, and I love collaborating and teaching within and across disciplines.
Games and Game Dev is my greatest passion; I adore discussing and dissecting games and mechanics with friends and figuring out new ways to weave narrative and play together into a cohesive and seamless experience.
