I'm a senior designer who creates products and experiences in gaming, media, and beyond.

about.
I grew up obsessed with video games. Not just playing them, but wondering how how to make them and how interactive technology changed media . From a young age I was experimenting with game mods because I also wanted to learn how I could have an impact on these systems. That curiosity led me to Simon Fraser University for a multidisciplinary degree in interactive art, design, and computer science, and a career spanning tech startups, media, and mobile gaming.
Today I design complex interactive systems and push them further into experiences that are beautiful and delightful. I thrive where left-brain rigour meets right-brain feeling, and I have a particular love for building creative tools that give other people more power to make things.
Outside of work I love: storytelling, performing arts, and replaying Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
