About Me
I’ve always been drawn to stories. My artistic choices and inspirations are drawn from the tales of high emotion: Laughter and joy, sadness and tears, all the way to anger and how we deal with it. Additionally, my favorite stories are the ones that are able to weave between juxtaposing feelings like they’re one in the same.
My love of stories developed from so many experiences. From my parents reading me bedtime stories to sitting with my sister as she plays Zelda: Ocarina of Time, to listening to the music in concerts with my mom, to seeing the current Oscar nominees with my friends in high school and breaking down why they’re so good (or bad). Starting in music, I sang, played clarinet, and learned how to read the stories composers wrote. At Interlochen Arts Camp, I met actors and wanted to be a part of their stories on stage. In college, I learned how light tells a story in parallel with the words of the play, and how we can combine these two things for a greater outcome. Every choice and everything I learned lead me to two conclusions:
Video games combine all forms of storytelling into its most immersive form, and the people around me help drive my passion forward.
I’m a hopeless romantic.
I try to be realistic about my choices and what needs to get done.
I work for the people I care about.
I would not be where I am today without their help.
Feeling things is the most human thing we can do, and my favorite stories make me feel the most.
Looking for RolesI feel the most qualified to work in direction, production, design, and narrative design. I would love to work with teams of people and guide a creative project towards a common goal. I am great at communicating feedback and creative ideas, I love to come up with and craft stories, and I am always interested in considering a player experience in a system or game.
