Gamucatex - Narrative Designer, Tectonicus
I worked on the framing narrative for the Timeless Library and developed the branching narrative and behavior trees for the spread of the Corruption. I also built the lore bible for the world of the Timeless Library and worked interdepartmentally on questline development for the Timeless Library.
A Mirror in Dark Water
Independent LARP that premiered at the Make-A-Scene Festival in 2024. This game combines my love for anthropology and game design, in this experimental anthropology game about the final seasons of Tollund Man in the Celtic Iron Age in Denmark.
Mirror has been a festival favorite and I’ve had the honor of running it in Denmark as part of an educational exchange. It is available in the Make-A-Scene 2024 Festival book and a final, illustrated version will soon be available through itch.io
The Intimacy Engine - Project Lead
I am currently running a team of 5 developers, designers, and AI programmers on developing an engine plug in that enables intimacy to become a playable interactive part of narrative gameplay in video games.
This project is in development but stay tuned as we move forward. Plug-in will be Unreal compatible upon release and we will develop Unity and Godot compatibility in future versions.

Is your sex scene just not coming together?
Spice things up
As a certified Intimacy Coordinator, I enhance the intimacy in your project by creating a fun and efficient environment. An Intimacy Coordinator is like a Fight Choreographer with funnier props.
Video Game producers
Most video game sex is awkward: impatient players speeding through dialogue, hilarious collision points in animation, failures in capturing subtely in mo-cap. It’s not easy to make video game sex sexy.
Education, Mentoring, and Consulting
Consulting and workshops to teach creative processes
With over 15 years teaching students and professionals—from high school theatre kids to computer science undergrads, from scientists to engineers—my unique background in devising, theatre making, game design, and cooperative leadership enables me to teach any group to creative problem solving.
