Video Game Writing & Narrative Design
I specialize in crafting non-linear narratives featuring richly layered, meaningfully inclusive characters.
These characters ground my genre-melding approach to whimsical worldbuilding in sharp, relatable humor and captivating emotional beats, offering players an epic range from sheer terror to heartwarming triumphs. I’m eager to bring these unforgettable moments to your studio's future releases.
I've got you covered on the “Awww's,” “Oooh's,” “Oh?’s”, and “Arrggaghh!?'s.”
