Summary
I'm a highly creative and self-motivated writer, skilled in creating interesting and varied characters for game systems. I have a strong understanding of character, motivation, and dialogue, as well as mechanical systems. I would love the opportunity to explore your world and characters with you, and to bring your ideas to life on the page and screen.

I'm a highly creative and collaborative TTRPG writer and world-builder. I have two TTRPG adventures coming: one for the award-winning Dreams & Machines (Sci-Fi) and the other for the Cohors Cthulhu TTRPG (Roman-era Lovecraft, which releases in April 2026). Additionally, I'm contributing to three unreleased print projects, one of which is for The Guantlet's The Lands Remaining.
My design philosophy centres on creating fresh, memorable player experiences. I write adventures that players remember long after leaving the table and NPCs that they'll love (or love to hate!), all designed to ensure GMs have the resources to run it all effortlessly.
