Game Designer & Writer

About

Hello! I'm a game designer and writer from Los Angeles, CA who enjoys creating interactive narrative experiences.Throughout my life, I've been passionate about telling stories, both nonfiction and fiction, because I could never find stories and characters that represented me. I'm always seeking opportunities to help tell unique and diverse stories.
