GAME PORTFOLIO

Learn more about my narrative and game design work.

I’m ambitious, attentive, and adaptable. As a Narrative Designer, I strive to bring compelling stories through my balance of experience and a sprinkle of mad creativity.

As A Narrative Lead

People-First Approach

I am committed to ensuring that the narratives and worlds we create resonate deeply with our audience. I meticulously guide narrative milestones to ensure they are not only achieved on time but also uphold the highest quality standards. Additionally, I advocate for inclusive storytelling, making sure our games are accessible and enjoyable for all players, regardless of their abilities.

Quality and Accessibility

I prioritize a nurturing environment centered on transparency, equity, and collaboration, empowering teams to create narratives they believe in. I excel in emotional intelligence and active listening, ensuring that all team members feel valued and heard. This approach fosters a collaborative atmosphere crucial for creative storytelling and excellent writer rooms.

Tech vs Tradition

I'm well versed in modern development tech (LLM/NLPs) and always believe in the blend of both traditional storytelling and emerging trends. That golden middle has brought always the best results. I prioritize giving space to tools that help streamline narrative production, establish pipelines between departments and narrative architecture building focusing on results and milestones.
