My Portfolio
Games are unique in their interactivity -- they tell stories in which YOU are the protagonist.
As a designer, my most key value is to open your mind to experiences beyond your own. And so my body of work reflects that; every entry is all about crafting the kind of experiences that make the world a more - empathetic and more - interesting place.
Unannounced Projects

While I was working on Magic: Spellslingers, I also designed, wrote, and playtested Minigames for the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons - themed set. One game named "Magic and Minions" made it through the editing process and was released as an official Minigame, available in card packs for the set.
