I believe that writing is the closest thing we have to magic. With it, one can conjure worlds, shift perspectives, and create something that lasts for the ages. But its true power flourishes in collaboration as shared voices are the soil from which the greatest epics can bloom. I tell stories that inspire, empower, and invite others to explore new viewpoints and vistas, and together we can create something wonderful!

Guinea Pig Games
BURGERPunk - Social Copywriter, Creative Writer, Quest Designer

He stumbled into town one day, smeared with blood and greasepaint. Mothers clutched their children and made the sign of The King as he passed, but I’d never been one for superstition. I welcomed him, as I do all my patrons, with a soft bench, a drink, and a burger. “Honkabout,” he called it. A tradition among the Children of Ronald. A punishment. A pilgrimage.

Genfanad

Genfanad- Quest Designer

I had the privilege of writing and designing quests as a designer for Genfanad, a lovely fantasy-comedy MMORPG inspired by games like Runescape and the writings of humorists like Terry Pratchett.

The Living Sky -Narrative Design

Made as part of the Metroidvania game jam, the team wanted something that evoked our favorite games from the early 2000s, titles like Morrowind and Metroid Prime. The result was a fun, funky, biopunk fantasy setting inspired by the "new weird" fiction movement. It was a lot of fun to just let my freak flag fly on the lore here, delving into all of my favorite factoids about entomology, biology, and occultism.

Short Film - O, Human Child!

This is a highly personal piece reflecting my own history as both an autistic child and a victim of physical and emotional abuse. I was deeply inspired by the work of Guillermo Del Toro and H.P. Lovecraft. The way they explored the ideas of internalized monstrousness was a guiding star for this piece.

Dungeon Master's Guild
Tabletop RPGs - Dungeons and Dragons: Faces of The Cage

A city at the center of the multiverse offers such a fertile ground for a lifelong D&D nerd like myself. So a chance to build characters and quests within it was like a dream come true. I especially loved creating the character "Isembard Charnelle" an urbane necromancer who uses his reanimation magics to produce undead sculptures of bone and filigree.
