Does your team need a senior writer or designer with shipped exp in narrative RPGs, imm sims, or emergent stories? I'm available, and am open to temp/contract/FTE. I specialize in delivering rich, player-driven narratives and developing living worlds in historical settings. REPOSTS APPRECIATED ♥️

A loose digital self-portrait of Ellie rendered in surrealist pinks and electric yellows. They look at you thoughtfully out of the corner of their eye. Ellie wears a dark shabby button down and a black wide-rim fedora. Sunlight glints off their round, wire-rimmed glasses. Swatches of violet, ember red, and sky blue cut through the middle distance behind them.

Struggling to put into words just how special my first time in Japan was. Suffice to say I will definitely be returning for BitSummit. To all of the amazing game devs I met this past week: Thank you for helping make this the experience of a lifetime, and I hope to see you again in Kyoto!
