The unifying element of my career is my passion for creating playful experiences. Whether that's narratively, encouraging you to try something new , or transporting you into an immersive setting.
I am a creative leader and game/systems designer with 18 years of experience working in the following industries:
- Escape rooms/Immersive Experiences (7 years, 60+)
- Board games (16 years, 1 launched, 2 pre production)
- LARP (20 years, 70 events, 10 multi year plots)
- Art (15 years, 5 series)
- Education (1 years)
From these roles I've gained expertise in creative collaboration, rapid design and iteration, and translating complex ideas into executable ones. I have a proven track record managing cross disciplinary teams, multi-phase projects, and high-value budgets from concept through completion.
I recently completed the Mastering Game Systems Bootcamp through Game Design Skills, bridging my background in physical games to the video game industry.
My diverse background has given me the ability to view systems and designs through an outside perspective.
I love learning and never consider that journey complete, and as such I am always interested in new opportunities -> Contact:
