ABOUT
Conjuring Tales
I've been telling stories ever since I started hearing them; everything from explaining to the teacher how the dog ate my homework, to scaring the daylights out of children with wicked tales of monsters in the woods. Raised on
X-Men, Spider-Man, Lord of the Rings & Dune, I've taken years of reading and studying stories and mixed it with memories of love and fear, and now I walk the path set out by the greats before me to stimulate the world
with my own storytelling.
​​
I've been publishing my own Intellectual Properties in film, television and comics,
and have also worked on existing IPs as a freelance writer, editor & letterer.
I've recently completed ELVTR's Game Design course "Become a Game Writer" taught by
Adam Dolin (God of War [2018] & God of War: Ragnarok) to extend my writing into the world
of video games and I received a letter of recommendation for my exemplary work throughout the course.
I've created several branching pathway text adventures using various game engines (Twine, Ren'Py, & Arcweave),
and am currently eager for any opportunity to broaden my expertise in video games
as a narrative/story/game designer.
