A lifelong gamer who has too many games on their Steam wishlist, I have loved creating experiences for people since I was young. I started out crafting stories in the physical space but have since switched to digital - whether that is in augmented reality or on the screen of your mobile phone. 

Ask me about pasta. You won't regret it.

Inspired by my undying love for 1996's Wave Race 64 for the N64, Jet Ski Story: The Curse of Peppy Pier is a point-and-click adventure game that follows the main character as they attempt to get their 'magic' back. 

With vivid colors and a variety of locations to explore, Jet Ski Story dives into the bright nostalgia of the mid-80's. 

Can Peppy Pier be saved?

Smokey thought his worst enemy was forest fires... he was wrong. 

A fast-paced extraction shooter involving zombies and the U.S. National Parks, this game concept breathes new life into the base building genre. Fortify your campground while trying to scavenge enough supplies to survive and obliterate zombies with makeshift weapons.

For those outdoorsy types who love to imagine how they'd fare in a zombie apocalypse - this game is for you.
