Meet the Designer

Veteran generalist live-service Game Designer

From growing up in a small town located in the Midwest to the front lines of the mobile gaming boom, my career has been driven by one goal: building experiences that stick.

I spent many weekends playing all-night 16-player Halo LAN parties, which led to friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. It’s my mission to build those kinds of experiences for others.

​I started in the trenches of contract QA after finishing my degree at Brown College, eventually finding my stride as a designer during the chaotic rise of social and mobile games. I’ve spent my career figuring out what makes players tick and how to keep them coming back.

When I’m offline, I’m usually deep in a 'tinkering' with something - whether that be my 3D printer or putting together the latest Lord of the Rings Lego set; If it involves learning a new skill or building something from scratch, I’m in!
