Game Designer for PC, Web, Consoles, iOS, Android, Arcades, VR, and TTRPGs, with a background in QA, production, community, streaming, and business development. A lifetime of gaming informs my sense of design and creativity. Innovation and experimentation are the way to move the game industry forward, which is why I truly enjoy the challenge of designing, implementing, and testing new and interesting features in games and applications. Over my career, I've developed skills as a multi-disciplinary designer on a variety of different products for many platforms, as well as further honing my natural quality assurance engineer talents, and have continued to learn and utilize production skills to help keep teams on track and motivated. I'm eager to keep growing and developing my skills as I apply them to new roles on new projects!
