About Me
I am a cross-media storyteller with a focus in escape games and interactive experiences.
My story

As a cross-media storyteller, my interest is in exploring and heightening the intersections between storytelling media, synthesizing theoretical and practical concepts from film, theatre, game design, and themed entertainment to enrich the creative process.

I've strengthened these interests through practical experience by taking on roles in theatre, game development, and the escape room industry. Most recently, I was the producer, creative director, and puzzle designer for "Return From Faerie," a narrative multimedia escape game that acts as an allegory for storytelling’s ability to equip, empower, and inspire people to face the hardships of life long after their engagement with storytelling media. This project included collaboration between numerous creative and managerial individuals with backgrounds in event management, theatre, programming, game design, and more.
