My design philosophy centers on creating gameplay where mechanics and narrative work together to deliver immersive, entertaining experiences. I love making games, seeing a team realize their vision and create something wonderful, and entertaining people through engaging narratives or compelling gameplay. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
I also write, bake, develop and play TTRPGS, paint, and play Warhammer 40k, and used to study, Fencing, HEMA, and Kendo
