About

With a robust background in game and interactive media design, I hold an MFA from New York University and a BA in East Asian Studies and Economics from Brandeis University. My career spans over a decade, beginning as an intern at Riot Games, where I contributed to the development of League of Legends. I have since held pivotal roles in various companies, including ESI Design and Quidd Inc, where I enhanced user engagement through innovative game design. At Wonderstorm, I played a key role in creating a Netflix Original animated series and a complementary video game. Currently, I am the Lead Game Designer at Fortis Games, where I lead design teams to deliver high-quality gaming experiences. My expertise lies in designing engaging content and managing cross-functional teams to drive product success.
