I'm a passionate and experienced writer who knows narrative is at its best when deeply tied to the other disciplines of game-making. My work focuses on imagined communities, emergent stories, and making room for the player.

Graf's Introduction
This cutscene introduced our glum hero Graf via his trusted friend. This was a more somber storyline in our otherwise bright and cheery world. |
Graf's Finale
After helping Graf, the player gets to see this scene of Graf re-embracing his role as a leader. |
Zent's Introduction
This scene played after the player discovered Zent, hiding from the nearby Valekin village. Zent's quests encapsulated the core of the game: restoring nature and connecting different people together. |
Zent's Finale
By the end of his quests, the Valekin have come to accept and even cherish Zent. They are honouring him with the role of "Grove Warden" in this scene as Zent reflects on his growth. |
Interactive Fiction
Club Penguin Island
Rookie's Finale Quest
One of many quests for Disney's Club Penguin Island. Rookie's quest line was challenging due to limited gameplay scope. However, by focusing on the character relationships, the world, and the humour, it ended up a success that connected with players. |
Shellbeard Battle - Club Penguin Island
This finale battle features some defining character moments as well as a lot of variant dialog based on player action. |
