I’m an award-winning game designer and publisher based in Massachusetts. I like playing pretend, telling stories, making things with my hands, and imagining what a better world might be like.

My games are about witches, giant sea creatures, neighborhood gods, chronic illness, and dreams. Want to play?

  • Deftly woven art... I can heartily recommend Your Friend in Witchcraft to anyone who likes quiet connections, emotionally intelligent stories, and a little bit of magic.

    — review of Your Friend in Witchcraft

  • Spectacular; everything comes together wonderfully in this. A really fantastic experience both to read for the first time and to then play!

    — review of Nectar

  • I've played this three times now! I originally grabbed it to use at work with a group of teens for a collaborative storytelling program, which was really fun. The game is adaptable and imaginative enough that it suits many play-throughs... and I love sea creatures.

    — review of Colossal

  • WOW this game!!! it's a gorgeous piece, with just enough structure to allow intriguing and impactful narratives to take root and grow. it's full of character and reflection on the nature of magic and the people who practice it. i can't recommend it enough!

  • This game really opened my eyes to how writing poetry can be a fun and low-pressure activity.
