First and foremost, I have a love for design and narrative. I’ve written a lot of content for tabletop roleplay games, and several drafts for fantasy novels. I have a passion for creating unique player experience, and I feel driven to pursue sharing my abilities professionally.
I am a diligent 8-year veteran of Quality Assurance testing in the industry with experience working with both AAA and indie developers. I’ve worked with publishing and outsourcing QA and have a great depth of knowledge from many perspectives within the field.
