Our central themes operate around a love of humanity, social rights and problems, as well as many other intimate and profound commentary.

  • Pokémon Professor Certification: Pending

'Banished to Berlin' Shadowrun TTRPG Community

I founded a thriving online community based around playing the TTRPG, Shadowrun (5e)! Through the years of experience I have with TTRPGs like D&D, Cyberpunk: RED, and the aforementioned, I brought together a community with over 100 members organising and playing games.

Artist for TTRPG materials

I work on a freelance basis for a TTRPG studio creating art through the conceptual stages, to the finished product, for rulebooks for the systems Spare Parts and Western Gothic, the former a cyberpunk-financial-dystopia full of biomechanical modification and gritty battles, and the former being a gritty, noire cowboy system with ghoulish magic - deciding successes through pulling poker hands!
