Hi! 

Welcome to my Itch page! 

I am a person who is passionate about creating games that are not only fun and challenging, but ones that also share meaningful messages with players. I went to university for Game Design and Development, and am currently building my portfolio by participating in game jams with my friends and working on other projects in my free time! 

I tend to focus on contemporary social justice issues in games and projects that I work on, as these are topics I care a lot about. My first solo game development project, Obstacles, is a game that heavily reflects these themes, with multiple characters having unique backgrounds and problems they face in their daily lives such as poverty, long-term illness, the foster system, and more. 

When creating games on my own, I try to develop a scope that allows me to work mostly independently and to my skillset. Where I do my best work is with narrative design, character design, sound design, and music.  Programming... not so much! But I am super lucky to have some amazing, talented friends who are able to give me a hand with the tricky stuff. 

I also love to work in teams with like-minded game designers - I thrive when collaborating with an amazing team, and some of my favourite projects I've worked on have been ones I've made with my friends. Speaking of projects I've made with my friends, check out our most recent game, Seeking Patrons!

I hope you enjoy, happy gaming!
