I’m an avid gamer with years of memories in the soil of Azeroth, Arcanus, Ashan, and others. I came to the game industry to unite my passion for video games with my love of planning, helping others, and creative collaboration. As a producer I’ve led teams in conception and prototyping, and have designed and produced one game to release.
