Hello, I'm Jake. I’m a Game Designer with a strong focus on Interactive Narrative. I love writing, world-building, and creating quests. I focus on making levels that build upon what I’ve written to provide the player with a new and exciting experience. My goal is to build worlds and weave stories that people carry with them long after the journey ends.
