Whether by designing amazing experiences for players, or by bringing cookies to meetings, my goal has always been to make people smile. As a designer my passion lies in creating complex systems and mechanics for players to enjoy. I am a strong communicator and enjoy working across disciplines. I always seek out opportunities for feedback and self improvement, and am always happy to help others.
