Story is Fundamental
Humans have been telling stories around campfires since the dawn of time. It's our oldest art form. It's how we understand the world. Story is who we are.
Interactive media is a $60B+ industry and growing, and if one thing has become clear in the last decade, it's that players don't just want great games, they want emotional, character-driven experiences that make them feel something they'll never forget.
For me, bringing those stories to life is not just a passion, it's an obsession.
If it's an obsession you share, let's talk.

About MeAs an interactive screenwriter, I'm all about quality, agency, and collaboration.
Quality means great storytelling. It's the relentless commitment to theme and character that we see on prestige content platforms like HBO and Apple TV+. Agency means intelligent game design. Interactivity shouldn't be about pressing buttons, but giving players ways to meaningfully engage. Collaboration means we achieve this as a team. I spent five years at Pixar Animation Studios, working on classics such as WALL-E and Cars, and I bring their collaborative methodology to everything I do. The future is interactive. Let's create it together. |
