I'm an award-winning narrative designer and writer making interactive narratives using dialogue, prose, and systems.
I love giving players enticing and tough choices, as well as creating characters to fall in love with, fall in hate with, or both.
I've written fantasy (dark and comic), romance of many kinds, historical, thrillers, gothic, and horror, and have worked on a wide variety of indie and mobile games including Date Everything, King of the Castle, Fallen London, Love Island, and more. Right now I'm mostly making projects with Choice of Games.
