Creative leadership at the intersection of story, systems and production.
I am a narrative and creative leader with 9+ years in game development, working across MMORPG, CRPG, live-service, shooter and mobile projects.
My focus is turning ambitious creative ideas into structures teams can actually build: narrative architecture, quest and dialogue systems, worldbuilding frameworks, documentation, review pipelines and cross-disciplinary workflows.
