Game Designer and Producer with 5 years of indie development experience including Unity certification, game jams, and published demos on Itch.io. Placed 2nd at the Crazy Labs Hyper-Casual Game Jam. Guest speaker at GameDevRev 2025. Nearly 25 years at the OSCE across two roles: operational support at the Information and Security Centre covering communications, logistics and incident response, and elected Staff Committee Representative contributing to policy development, mental health initiatives and staff engagement. I figure things out. Always have. No budget, no roadmap, no permission — just the problem in front of me and the drive to solve it. That's how I've built everything. Open to roles in game design, narrative, production, project coordination, creative media or marketing. Let's connect.
