Writer, designer, and world-builder based in Dallas, TX. Currently creating gamified learning at ADM.
Intro
I am passionate about bringing stories to life. I’ve created a wide range of content, from one-shot tabletop roleplaying game scenarios to podcasts with sweeping narratives. I have over a decade of experience crafting immersive digital content, complex narratives, engaging gameplay mechanics, and memorable player experiences through many mediums. I blend storytelling with strategic design to create captivating game worlds. I also strongly advocate for inclusivity and accessibility, driven by a passion for bringing imaginative, inclusive experiences to life.
