narrative design & writing
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.

Game narrative is often described as being in tension with gameplay, but my best storytelling happens when examining and playing with that tension. I love to find ways to turn gameplay into narrative, taking what game designers are excited about and making the story celebrate it instead of ignoring it.
