About Me

Cofounder | Chief Creative Officer

Currently, I am a co-founder and Chief Creative Officer for Jam & Tea Studios. We are pre-announce on our company and project; more info soon. :-)

Previously, I led Narrative Design on a R&D project for Phoenix Labs with their LA Studio. Past credits before that include Wizards of the Coast (Worldbuilding Narrative Lead for Digital Publishing, Creative Lead for unannounced digital Magic: the Gathering game), Riot Games (League of Legends, Wild Rift, Legends of Runeterra, etc), ArenaNet (Guild Wars 2), and more.

In addition to my game design work with major studios, I led the narrative and game design for Port of Mars, a social science experiment disguised as a tabletop game. The project was part of the Interplanetary Initiative at Arizona State University, which sought to answer complex problems and questions around space exploration and settlement. I also was a narrative lead for Ava, the debut game from Social Cipher about a young autistic girl on a grand space pirate adventure.

Writer

Prior to writing for games, I wrote live shows and led narrative designs for theme park developments. Past clients include Disney Imagineering, Rhetroactive, and On Track Themes.

I also was a staff writer for a Chinese sitcom set in LA. Additionally, ,my theatrical plays have received recognition from the Kennedy Center, Actors Theatre of Louisville, and the O'Neill Theater's National Playwriting Conference, among others. 

Actor

I’m an actor and comedian with a focus on improv, voiceover, and film. I have an MFA in Acting from California Institute of the arts and in the past had frequently toured and traveled with my solo show, Pint of Life. I also taught and performed at festivals and theaters across the country.

I have had the pleasure to produce, develop and devise different performance pieces with a variety of companies. I also have worked as a teaching artist for many different organizations, teaching improv, acting, music, and theater in classroom, workshop, private lesson and master class settings. Past teaching experience includes Rise Up and Sing, California Institute of the Arts, Theatricum Botanicum, TBA Theatre, Valley Youth Theatre, and Greasepaint Youth Theatre.
