Game Production and Writing Work
With the games that I create, I hope to spark excitement and curiosity in players by exploring relationships between interesting characters, crafting engaging storytelling, sprinkling in life lessons about self-care, and adding a pinch of the unexpected within the familiarity. You will find me handling the production and narrative in most of my projects and sometimes, a little bit of design work. With all my game development projects, you can expect me to be organizing all the information, continuously learning by asking questions, and supporting my fellow developers in any way I can.

My Production Philosophy
My Production Philosophy is an ever-changing manifesto that I created that outlines the ways I approach the production of a game project. At this time, my philosophy is founded on three pillars: People First Mentality; Sturdy, Efficient Conversations; and Non-Newtonian Fluid Scheduling System. On this page, you will find my connections to the Agile Manifesto and influences from producers in the industry. Learn more below!
