My dream of making games for a living began when I helped develop UC Santa Cruz's first commercial student game project in 2010. Since then, I've contributed to award-nominated indie titles and top-grossing mobile games enjoyed by millions, collaborating with teams around the world. My experience spans everything from localization to leading narrative design.

From comedy to sci-fi to Westerns, I've worked across a wide range of genres, though I'm drawn to fantasy worlds shaped by myth and adventure. My love of making people laugh also carries naturally into my writing. I owe my continued success to systems thinking (writing for gameplay, not just story), editorial precision (the "last line" of narrative quality), and championing player choice (making decisions matter).

When I'm not writing for games, I'm playing them, studying game design and narrative decisions while getting lost in the adventure.
