I am a game designer who has been making web and mobile games professionally for  five years.  I love to bring game experiences to life with great writing, amazing design, and the collaboration of an inspired development team.  I focus on narrative design and writing, but I have also worked in systems design, level design, and art.

Summary

I was born in Homer, Alaska; a small town by the sea and possibly the greatest place to grow up in the entire world.

 

I majored in Architecture at Yale University, and studied Game Design at the Vancouver Film School.

 

I love making games more than anything, but I am passionate about many forms of design.  I enjoy  learning new skills and tackling ambitious projects.  I want to tell stories and build worlds, but most of all I want to make games that are enjoyable, challenging and fun.
