Hey everyone. Things have been tough around here and they are about to get worse. I’ll probably need to make a bigger ask soon, but right now I’m asking for some help covering essentials. Next post has what I’m trying to cover. PP: @StellaSacco CA: $sacc No Venmo

Onion's back in triage at the emergency vet, fingers crossed nothing serious is wrong and I hate to ask again after yesterday's visit, but I can't pay for the care he needs without help. My PayPal is jeeyon.shim@gmail.com and my Venmo is Jeeyon-Shim. Every little bit helps, thank you so much <3

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!

Hey, about three months later I am still looking for work. I have done senior level work, I’m comfortable owning zones, writing cutscenes, and environmental narrative. Open to working in other mediums as well.

some personal news: last week was my last day at Firaxis! I’m gutted to leave before Arc / Earthrise but there was an adventure I couldn’t refuse. More on that later—but for now I’ll miss everyone & getting to flex my research skills. Designing Civ’s narrative system has been such an honor.

Anyway! Applying for a couple of jobs I’ve seen this week but if you would like me to write for you/your project, please get in touch. I’m a versatile writer but I’m particularly great at dialogue and marketing copy. Plus I’m funny. But you know that. DMs are open or hit me up on LinkedIn

really excited to get my contributor copies of the fifth season rpg and gm kit! the latter features a scenario i designed and i’m so happy with how it turned out. i am such a fan of n.k.jemisin’s broken earth series, so this project was a real treat to be a part of

If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. I’ve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games. I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.
