commercial games work
I've worked as a narrative designer, writer and programmer in independent studios since 2020. Narrative design for me touches on a lot of areas: game design, writing, UI, and mechanics. I'm especially interested in narrative games that use novel and experimental mechanics for emergent storytelling, deduction, and puzzles.
I primarily work in Unity, often using Dialogue System for Unity and Yarn Spinner. I also have experience in Unreal, Twine, Inform 7, javascript. I have a generalist background so I have a lot of other skills to bring into the work - illustration, 2D animator, blender, UI, working with JSON and databases.
