So with the news of the layoffs at KO_OP, I'm officially looking for work later this fall. I'm an experienced narrative designer that's worked on both sprawling open world stories and intimate cinematic narratives, even netting some award wins and noms. More details on my experience below!

In the final triple review of the year, I'm covering three trick-takers that go above and beyond: casino-heister Venusian Vegas, snitty restaurant manager Beastro, and social parable The Hedgehog's Dilemma. Read 'em here: spacebiff.com/2025/12/16/v...

One of the highlights of my GDC was actually finding out that the game development club I co-founded at Pratt when I was 17 is not only still running but flourishing under new student leadership! 🥹 It seriously makes me tear up!
