About

I’m an analog games designer, developer and writer with extensive knowledge of RPG and board game publishing and project management. I have a BFA in Video Art and an MA in Graphic Communications, Management and Technology. My latest work has been with several large companies and properties, such as the latest Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft (Dungeons & Dragons 5e), Betrayal at House on the Hill 3E, Scooby-Doo: Betrayal at Mystery Mansion and Dune: Adventures in the Imperium. In publishing and project management, I’ve worked with Wet Ink Games under my own publishing company, Game and a Curry to produce a $100k Kickstarter, Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall. It gathered media attention from Huffington Post, Dicebreaker and Critical Role’s Critter Hug.
