I'm an award-winning narrative designer and writer making interactive narratives using dialogue, prose, and systems.
I love giving players enticing and tough choices, as well as creating characters to fall in love with, fall in hate with, or both.
I've written fantasy (dark and comic), romance of many kinds, historical, thrillers, gothic, and horror, and have worked on a wide variety of indie and mobile games including King of the Castle, Fallen London, Love Island, and more. Right now I'm mostly making projects with Choice of Games.

Honor Bound is the fourth in my Crème de la Crème series. Recover your health and reputation after injury and return to your hometown to thwart or enact shady dealings, and forge bonds with—or alienate—those around you.
Crème de la Crème Series
The titles in my Crème de la Crème series from Choice of Games has a different player character and can be played as standalones. Each is different, but you can expect strict etiquette, social dilemmas, dark academia, intense emotions, sweet and spicy romance, and rich people behaving badly.
