About Me

I am a gameplay and quest designer passionate about amazing storytelling and awesome gameplay. I think games are at their most impactful when story and gameplay work together in unison. I love complex interconnected narratives, worlds with rich lore and history, and gameplay moments that just take your breath away.

It is incredibly fulfilling for me to collaborate with teams to create compelling video games and engaging narrative experiences. I enjoy working with creative people who challenge each other to become better designers and storytellers.

I am also an avid game master and player of TTRPGs. I primarily play Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, but I have played Pathfinder 2e, Starfinder, Honey Heist, Old Gods of Appalachia Roleplaying Game, Lancer, Transformers Roleplaying Game, and Root. I am interested in learning to play Daggerheart, Good Society, Candela Obscura, Vampire the Masquerade, and Coyote and Crow. I have hundreds of hours of game mastering experience, and in that time, I have only TPKed twice.

If anyone has any system suggestions, I am excited to learn about more awesome systems.

Please feel free to reach out. I’m always eager to discuss anything game design!

I have showcased Talon’s Blade at M+DEV 2023, GDEX 2024, and PAX EAST 2025

Currently Playing: Laika: Aged Through Blood, Dishonored, Cairn, Mad Max, and Dungeon and Dragons
