I enjoy creating experiences, delivered in the form of books, zines, RPGs, and immersive websites.
Like most creators who set up camp on the internet during the days of ICQ, Netscape Navigator, Napster, and Angelfire, my skillset is pretty diverse and I learn new technologies very quickly, especially when in service of an exciting artistic project. Currently, I’m developing Plane, a dreamy journaling RPG where, in a world of infinite possibilities, the player assumes the role of a humble teleporter operator working for AstroFusion Express, the multiverse’s best (and only) interdimensional travel company.
I’m a certified copyeditor and project manager with over a decade of publishing experience and a lifetime of gaming experience.
In my day job, I’m a salon management consultant who fights for the rights of professional beauty workers. I’m also the founder of Unvarnished Hand & Foot Co. and the author of both The Beauty Industry Survival Guide and Salon Ownership & Management.
When the entire world stopped in 2020, I decided to turn my hobbies into a second career. To keep from going crazy while in quarantine, I launched The Dread Machine, an indie publishing company, and started making cool things with a bunch of new friends. If you’d like to join our community of creators, you can find us here. (If you’ve ever heard a rejection letter referred to as a “hamster,” we’re the reason why.)
I’m always seeking opportunities to collaborate.
To get a glimpse into my gaming experience and some (disturbing yet somehow still only surface-level) insight into the depths of my passion for ALL OF THE GAMES, check out my profiles on Steam, itch.io, and Kickstarter. If you’d like to discuss working together, email me!
